A member asked:

Is it safe to take polyethylene glycol 3350 powder daily?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generally yes: Also known as "MiraLax", this is generally safe to take daily, however it should be done under the direction of a physician if there is an ongoing problem which requires a daily medication for constipation. Also, as with any other over the counter medications, adhere to the directions on the bottle regarding daily dose.
