I recently developed an anal fissure during childbirth. i just started the topical ointment and bought miralax but got told dulcolax would work better?

You decide: Your effort will be to keep your stools soft enough to pass without reopening the fissure. The ointment may help with localized pain. I like the Miralax because it is more reliable as a stool wetting agent at keeping them soft. You can use it daily for weeks/months as needed once you figure out how much you need & how often to take it.Dulcolax can help you go but I find it less consumer friendly.
