A member asked:
Doc says to take miralax daily. can i pre-prepare it by mixing it with water, refrigerating the solution, and then drinking some of it daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.....but...: The material binds water & resists water removal during its trip though the gut. That insures that nearby stool will remain moist. Dosing is designed to occur at intervals, like a full dose 1-3 X/day but taking it throughout the day is okay. It is easier to forget unless you do it at a set time.
