Miralax (polyethylene glycol): or polyethylene glycol is a powder that when mixed with water forms a colorless, odorless, tasteless solution that will soften your bowel movement. Take 1 capful twice daily for the first day to get things moving then 1 capful daily for as long as you need your stools softened. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
