A member asked:

I have emergency surgery for twisted small part of intestine removed.told to take colace twice a day and 17 miralax every day. to prevent constipation. surgery was a month ago. is it safe to continue long term can they be taken together pls help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The Miralax can be taken safely indefinitely. I would wean off the Colace when you can. Going to once a day then every other for a week then off may be well tolerated. If things back up slow the wean.
