How Much Does Osmoprep Have Polyethylene Glycol To Cause Allergic Reactions?

I used Osmoprep and had a severe alergic reaction. I know I am alergic to Miralax because of a previous colonoscopy prep. I have read that Osmoprep also has polyethylene glycol, and is listed as an inert ingredient. How much does that really have in it? I can't find any referance that states how much is actually in it. I think my DR. should not have prescribed it, after I told him that I had a bad reaction to Miralax.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Most packaging would not indicate the exact amount of inert ingredients that are present.

You may need to contact the manufacturing company for that information or speak to your pharmacist who may or may not be able tell you.

I hope this helps
