Gabapentin (300mg. 3x day) for nuropathic pain works great but is it ok to use miralax (polyethylene glycol) daily for the constipation it causes?

NO ISSUE: Gabapentin has few if any drug-drug interactions, and fine to use Miralax (polyethylene glycol) if you wish.

Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
