A member asked:
Is linzess safe and better than miralax (polyethylene glycol)? a new doctor prescribed it and the pharmacist sternly warned against it.

You have to choose: Between your MD or a pharmacist. The MD has the advantage to follow his patients and judge how well it works vs anecdotal stories by the pharmacist. Nevertheless, Miralax (polyethylene glycol) has fewer side effects
