Suggest Dosage For Miralax
Question: can you take Miralax more than once a day?
Brief Answer:
Ideally to be taken once a day
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query,
Miralax is polyethelene glycol, which is bulk forming agent, which belongs to the class of laxatives.
If you suffer from constipation, ideally once a day dosage is enough for a period of 5-7 days. You should be able to appreciate loose bowel movements within 3 days.
If at all your constipation seems to continue after a week of Miralax consumption, it would be at your best to consult with your doctor.
Meanwhile, consume fiber rich foods and increase fluid intake to a minimum of 3 litres per day.
Hope this helps
