A member asked:
Would taking miralax (polyethylene glycol) and linzess everyday cause low potassium levels in blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low K: Linzess is for IBS and Miralax (polyethylene glycol) can cause diarrhea. So yes if a person has diarrhea either due to IBS or due to Miralax (polyethylene glycol) overuse there can be low k. These medications themselves are unlikely to cause low k. Hope this helps.
