"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 terrible odor and is unpalatable. Contacted Rugby, name of company on label; they verified my experience. I Asked where ingredient is sourced, was told they obtain 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."
