A member asked:
I was looking at the miralax (polyethylene glycol) container, and the ingredient sounds similar to anti-freeze. is it a type of anti-freeze?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Just because they sound similar doesn't mean that 2 chemical compounds have the same properties. But i understand your concern: ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol.
