Can you take miralax (polyethylene glycol) and dulcolax tabs at the same time for constipation?

Specializes in Pharmacology

Dulcolax + Miralax (polyethylene glycol): You could take both if you needed to. However, i would recommend you not use both routinely unless a single agent is not doing the job for you.
