A member asked:
Taking norco for wisdom teeth removal; how can i prevent constipation? can i take miralax twice a day? is metamucil a good idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Narcotics can cause constipation if taken over a prolonged period. Miralax should help you if you are taking the narcotics for longer than a day or two.
