MiraLAX contains 'polyethylene glycol 3350', which is a laxative solution that increases the amount of water in the intestinal tract to stimulate bowel movements. It is used as a laxative to treat occasional constipation or irregular bowel movements.
Benefiber is a clear and taste free fiber supplement which helps to overcome constipation.
No interactions are known to exist between MiraLAX and Benefiber and hence they can be taken together as recommended by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ashakiran S
