"Have been using Miralax for years. Pharmacy first substituted a generic, then another generic, and finally last week another generic that doesn't dissolve, has a terrible odor, and is unpalatable. Contacted Rugby, the name of the company on the label; they verified my experience. I asked where the ingredient is sourced, was told they obtain it from Gavis Pharmaceuticals, and could not provide any additional information. I am really upset that I cannot obtain ingredient source information, don't have a clue who manufactured it, and find it very disconcerting that it is repackaged and distributed so many times. I fear the worst when I cannot get solid information."

"As I aged, my bowel motions became increasingly difficult. The physicians I consulted recommended more water, dietary fiber, exercise, etc., but none had a lasting effect. I tried synthetic glucose derivatives-lots and lots of gas and cramps! For me, dietary fiber produced too much uncontrolled gas. The osmotic agents produced too much water loss, and I was warned about potential electrolyte imbalance. Finally, I tried PEG3350, and Nirvana! It's convenient, tasteless, dissolves in all liquids, stable, and for me, no apparent side effects. I discovered if I titrate the dose, I control the nature of my bowel motion. As an OTC product, it seems to be one of those rare preparations that won't put me in the hospital."
