Re: Constipation and Miralax

January 25, 2004

My son has used miralax. We used 17g in 4 oz of water once a day

when he was constipated. It took about 36 hours to take effect. Be

sure to keep him very, very, very hydrated (gatorade, pedialyte).

Christen,

Abby just started Miralax. At first, she was only taking it once a

day and it wasn't helping much. Then they increased it to twice a

day and now she goes 2 to 4 times a day.
