A member asked:

I've been taking miralax (polyethylene glycol) as prescribed by doc. was taking every 2-3 hrs now 4xs a day. it's been a week, is it normal for it to make you feel nauseous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

.: Miralax (polyethylene glycol) 4 times a day seems more than the usual dose. Check with your physician if this is the dose he wanted for you.
