Brief Answer:
Safe to be taken long term.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Miralax is safe to be taken long term. This medicine does not get absorbed. It merely helps in forming the bulk of the stool and thereby eases the gastrointestinal movement.

Let me know if I could help further.
