How often can miralax be taken? Can it be take twice a day

Answer

Regina,

It is not recommended that you take miralax twice in one day. The drug information on Miralax from our partner site healthsquare.com indicates that it may take up to 2-4 days for Miralax to start working.

In addition, caution should always be used when taking a laxative. Overuse can teach your body to rely on these medications eventually contributing to your constipation. For more information read our information guide on constipation.
