MiraLAX is a polyethylene glycol (PEG 3350) laxative powder made for providing gentle constipation relief. Polyethylene glycol has strong clinical evidence to improve occasional constipation. Constipation is generally considered to be fewer than three bowel movements per week. Unlike some laxatives which stimulate the nerves, MiraLAX is a non stimulant osmotic laxative, working naturally with the water in your body to hydrate, soften, and ease stool through the colon gently.   
 
Since going on the market as an OTC laxative in 2007, MiraLAX has been the #1 Physician Recommended OTC brand of laxative. MiraLAX provides constipation relief without causing harsh side effects like cramping, bloating, sudden urgency, and gas. MiraLAX is a gentle laxative designed to treat occasional constipation. Constipation can be caused by lifestyle factors such as stress, diet, travel, medications, and lack of exercise. It can be defined by fewer than normal bowel movements, difficulty passing stool and abdominal bloating.
