Miralax is used to treat constipation with no side effects. The purpose of Miralax is to regulate the digestive system.
Some useful products for constipation relief include different types of laxatives. Miralax is a good example of such a product. You can also take fiber supplements which are a form of laxative themeselves (bulk-forming laxatives) such as Metamucil, FiberCon, and Citrucel. Another alternative is to eat foods high in fiber such as nuts, oats, fruit, whole-grain or whole-wheat breads, seeds, and vegetables. You should also increase your water intake.
