MiraLAX tips from pharmacists

• MiraLAX is available without a prescription. However, you should not take this medicine without talking to a healthcare provider first if you are 16 years of age or younger, pregnant, or have irritable bowel syndrome or kidney problems.

• Consult a healthcare provider before taking MiraLAX if you have nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or changes in bowel habits in the last 2 weeks.

• If you do not get relief from constipation after one week of using MiraLAX, contact your doctor as it could be a more serious problem.

• Stop taking MiraLAX if you develop loose stools (diarrhea).
