I been taking Gabapentin for for 1year and it has caused some heat sensation on my kidneys had them tested in the hospital. Results were good I think it was from possibly MORINGA POWDER. Which in my opinion works well but only certain brands of MORINGA POWDER some are garbage..I just stopped using MORINGA POWDER 5 to 6 days and I can feel a difference. So the end result is Miralax will cause some intestinal problems kidneys and liver. So I myself are looking for a new laxative. I have spinal stenosis and waiting to get both knees replaced. So my mobility is very limited. I hope my story has helped anyone taking Miralax with Gabapentin. Farewell
Hi, Gabapentin is exclusively excreted by the Kidneys and undergoes no appreciable metabolism by the Liver. As to whether it is toxic to your Kidneys is probably a question that you should be asking your prescribing doctor. Certainly, fluid retention is listed as a possible side effect and it is also known that Gabapentin toxicity is an issue for people with Kidney disorders.
Good luck.
