miralax recall info

I am 10wks preggo and was wondering if Miralax is safe to take for constipation during pregnancy....I am very constipated and have been drinking Metamucil 2 times a day without any effectiveness....my husband is a pharmacist and says that it is safe because it doesn't enter the bloodstream, but I do not want to take something unless I know that it is safe. I have seen where it is category c. Thanks for your help....

I have hummus here now, is it any specific brand?

I have been having okay results since June with Miralax and Colace. A few weeks ago I began having what looks to be blood in the stool. I told my onc right away. She said do not worry. It is probably from a blood vessel bursting. Well, I tried not to worry, but it did not work! Could the Miralax be the trouble?

Several conversations have surrounded MiraLax and the cost. I know Lu know of something that works like MiraLax and costs much less. However, I saw this in my digestive health smart brief and thought it might interest someone. Perrigo gets FDA OK for OTC generic constipation drug The FDA has approved Perrigo Co.'s over-the-counter bowel drug Polyethylene Glycol 3350 to treat occasional constipation.

and if anyone has done this particular prep I would like to hear how your made out.....I some info on the miralax prep, but it all said there were pills involved as well, but he did not say anything about pills, just 64 oz of gatorade and I believe he said 8 scoops of the miralax. Thanks for any information that anyone can give me...I have put this off much to long, but honestly I still don;t think I can handle it..

I take 7 different medications and have constipation. My doctor recommended Miralax for 2 weeks. It worked great. But after the 2 weeks the constipation came back. I was wondering is it safe to take Miralax everyday to stay regular?

None of the newborn car seats were recalled according to news articles. Google graco recall for further info. Bump!!

A lady I have chemo with (also on topo), mixes the Miralax in warm prune juice and says it works great. You can also take stool softeners with the Miralax. Hopefully, the chemo will take care of the tumors on/by your Mom's colon. IF your Mom goes on iron, there is a new pill "HEMAX" (an Rx) that is a combo of Vitamin C, Iron, and stool softener. You need to take iron with Vitamin C for good absorption. Good luck .. don't know anything about Gemzar ..

I had the same problem. My doc also prescribed miralax. Im already swamped with other meds, so I decided to go natural to reduce the constipation. Try eating brown (wheat) instead of white and lots of green veggies (greens, spinach). It has done wonders for me.

My doctor told me to take miralax and to increase my water intake.

The beginning of my pregnancy my OB said I could take miralax to help with constipation, but now that I am 37w4d is it safe to take? I don't want to take it if it's going to affect baby in any way.

Has anyone had miralax?

I was given iron supplements as a baby, grew up and have experienced constipation off and on as long as I can recall. I am 30 years old now, have taken Miralax on a daily basis for over a year (a friend of mine who was a nurse said it was safe as it does not alter your colon, only draws in water), and have no problems defecating.

As long as you use opiates or synthetic opiates you will fight constipation, plane and simple. Me too. Like Vicki said "Miralax" is what I use. Walmarts got a copy, don't recall the name. You have probably already tried to notice which foods stop you up. If your intestines are alright, then it's a fiber thing. And of course water. I've had part of my gut's removed and fight it every single day.

t know if putting her on a med like miralax is the right answer and any info will be greatly apreciated!!! thank you!

Slings are great if used right!!! The sling that was recalled studies were done on it years ago back in 2007 and the company knew that it had a suffocation risk. The babies head shoudl always be out of the sling and the baby should never be curled in a C position laying nor upright! That is the problems not the slings.

Thank you for sharing this info. I read your response on the other post as well. I hope that you do ok with the Neurontin. At least, with this dosage, you can build it up if necessary. I'm glad to hear that taking the pain meds. earlier helped out. Take care and feel better soon.

The contaminated product has the potential to cause serious problems, including dangerous blood clots, Amgen said in a press release announcing the recall. However, Amgen said there had been no complaints that can be directly attributed to the presence of glass. It said certain lots were being voluntarily recalled as a precaution.

This is on top of a strong oral medication (Amitiza) and magnesium. With Miralax, I get the stuff in the bottle and take 1 1/2 capfuls once a day and as needed.

Anyway clld my GYN since the ppl from the breast center had no info for me. And the GYN office told me that they found two nodules one in each breast. Mind you last week my GYN didnt feel anything during my clinical exam. So while im crying on the phone, the nurse kept reading the report and said, malignancy RULED OUT. I made sure I had her repeat that and she said it again, i felt better, but im still nervous about going in the morning.

Okay girlies I was told to take Miralax for my constant constipation, I haven't taken it yet because im very leary on taking anything while pregnant. I was wondering if anyone has tried it before and did it help? Does it have a stimulant in it? Is it worth me even going and buying?
