Good morning doctors. can you take miralax and benefiber/metamucil together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In general, it is safe to take Miralax and Benefiber/Metamucil together. In fact, some healthcare professionals may even recommend combining them for a more comprehensive approach to managing constipation. The combination of an osmotic laxative like Miralax and a fiber supplement like Benefiber/Metamucil can help soften the stool and promote regular bowel movements.
