Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 get on a web site,I use google,type in miralax. Then go down until you see Miralax-side effects,ratings,patients comments. Of course none are about children but comments fron adults. Thry rate it on a scale of 1 to 5. There are so many pros and cons out there,you don't know who to believe and it does say on the miralax bottle that anyone under 17 should consult with a doctor. maybe kids can't take it and these doctors should not be prescribing it to children although some do. some have good results and some have bad results as everyone is different.There are a lot of drugs I can't take and have had serious side effects. I'm leary about miralax even tho it helps me. Diflucan gave me a mini stroke. thats only one example. All prescription and over the counter drugs,herbs,supplements,vitamins,and even foods, can be dangerous to anyone. marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Marg you said:All prescription and over the counter drugs,herbs, supplements, vitamins, and even foods, can be dangerous to anyone. margThis is true, however; it is very rare for anyone to over dose or have a serious side effect from food, herbs, or vitamins. When it does happen is is usually cus of an alergy. Drugs, on the other hand, kill and mame a large persentage (in comparison) of folks everyday.Doctor error and drugs are the third cause of death. You won't find it listed in most charts as the only list diseases and don't want the public to know.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Susie, I joined dr. mercola and he sells drugs and books so I'm not impressed with him. I know about mistakes as i was a nurse in the hospital for over 30 years and not all were made by doctors.margSusie wrote: Marg you said:All prescription and over the counter drugs,herbs, supplements, vitamins, and even foods, can be dangerous to anyone. margThis is true, however; it is very rare for anyone to over dose or have a serious side effect from food, herbs, or vitamins.
