Miralax (polyethylene glycol): Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is an effective and generally safe laxative and if used correctly should not precipitate or worsen congestive heart failure.

Yes: Miralax (polyethylene glycol) (peg 3350) is an osmotic laxative and thus draws water into the gut, not the other way around. It should be quite safe.
