A member asked:
Need doctor's help! will miralax (polyethylene glycol) and stool softeners be taken together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, depends: Stool softener is to soften up the stools to aid with passage. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is a bowel movement stimulants. For those who are often constipated, may need to take both. You may want to adjust your diet to more fibers and plenty of fluid if applicable. Good luck!
