MiraLax Information

MiraLax

MiraLAX (Polyethylene Glycol 3350) is a completely different way to treat constipation. MiraLAX is the only one clinically proven to relieve constipation with no harsh side effects.° MiraLAX works by naturally balancing the water in your digestive system to relieve constipation with no harsh side effects. It gently increases the frequency of bowel movements and softens the stool so it is easier to pass.

MiraLAX is safe and effective - and is available without a prescription. It is the first prescription laxative in more than 30 years to be made available over-the-counter (OTC).

I really don't know if Miralax is causing this side effect but I have been on Miralax for 3 years and then starting having problems with sores, burning and salty mouth. I had the sore removed by an oral surgeon and it came back as chronic inflammatory mouth , cause could be food, meds or oral products like toothpaste, mouthwash and etc. I did have a new night guard made and noticed after three nights my mouth started burning and I got a sore and had allergy tests,egd, went to ent Dr. and had X Rays and went to an internet, dentist and oral surgeon. I also have eliminated foods, drugs and don't wear a night guard and even went off Miralax and a stool softener with no improvement. I went back on Miralax and still even if I'm on it or off it I still have a sore mouth. what am I to do????????

I have been using MiraLax for 3 months now. It has helped me tremendiously with my constipation however I have had horriable gas and bloating I have gained 10 pounds. I am a regular exerciser and weight liftter (toning mostly) . I could not figure how I gained the extra weight. I hav'nt done or taken anything different except taking the MiraLax. I was told it did not make you gain weight or give you gas. Maybe all the studies are not out yet. I don't know but I need to get this weight off fast. Could it be water weight?? from miralax? Please if anyone who has used Miralax or a doctor who has had this problem help. I hate to quit taking Miralax because it really helps me. It has been the best thing I have used in years. I would love anyone to comment or offer advice.
