Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
If you are given Magnesium citrate for constipation and it produced a good result, you don't have to take Miralax. If you are given the same for a procedure like colonoscopy, you require to take Miralax the night before the procedure.
I shall be happy to answer any further queries
