A member asked:
Is it safe to take milk of magnesia and miralax together?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No interaction, however, could be overdosage, using 2 medicines for the same indication, e.g. constipation, isn't recommended. Stick to one preparation, read the labels carefully if no improvement within few days , see your/ a doctor, wish you well
