How long does a myralax cleanse last for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a cleanse: The digestive tract constantly sheds its lining; it therefore cleans itself, and nothing gets stuck in there. "cleansing" is unnatural and dangerous. I had a healthy patient who almost died from this practice. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is a product that is effective for the management of chronic constipation. See your doctor for evaluation.
