Constipation
"Miralax was a lifesaver for me. I was nearly hospitalized because constipation had caused aspiration pneumonitis and greatly worsened my GERD and asthma. I was losing weight, though I was already underweight, because I couldn&#039;t eat many meals, and I was also having chronic moderate/severe abdominal pain. The miralax worked amazingly for me, although it took some time (a week, 2 capfuls 2x daily, though now I do 2 once a day).

My brother experienced problems with it though. He started with 1 capful and was vomiting all night. However, he went to &frac12; capful and slowly titrated up to 2, and now PRN

Overall: Highly effective, but variable side effect profile.

Insurance only covered bc I was taking such large doses, otherwise they will not."
