MiraLAX® Works with the Water in Your Body
MiraLAX® works with your body’s natural process to provide effective relief from occasional constipation. Because it works with the body, MiraLAX® provides a gentle experience and doesn’t cause harsh side effects.
MiraLAX® Is Different from Stimulant Laxatives
Stimulant laxative pills make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. MiraLAX® works naturally with the water in your body to hydrate, soften and ease, unblocking your system.

Osmotic Laxative
Works with the water in your body to soften and ease stool through the colon.

Stimulant Laxative Pills
Forcefully stimulate the nerves in your colon, causing the muscles of the intestinal wall to contract, which helps move stools through.
