Re: Canadian version of Miralax

[Guest guest]

Maybe you could contact the company and see if they'll ship it to your drug store there??? http://www.miralax.com/default.html Hope this helps, Misty Kimble , LA CD SCD - 4 months "nicole.prieur" wrote: Hello Fellow SCDers:Does anyone living in Canada know the Canadian version of Miralax? My

doctor has never heard of it, it isn't listed in the 2008 drug reference book; I went to 2 different pharmacies and they haven't heard of it either. This would really help me as I have tried everything suggested to me and that I've read to help with my C. problem and the only thing that gives me a BM is magnesium but it gives me heartburn...so I can't take too much of it.

The proper name for Miralax is polyethylene glycol; also can be labeled as glycolax.

A quick google search for Canadian sources of Miralax revealed quite a few. Looks like it's OTC as it is in the US. Here's one of them:

You can probably check with your local pharmacy and have them order it. Doesn't need a prescription.

I've been using it for over 5 years, now that I have poor digestive motility.
