[quote=Anonymous]I really enjoy the information sharing in this blog. I was searching forces probiotic that helped with constipation and was brought to this spot. I felt very encouraged until I read about Miralax use. Being an old retired RN, I find myself researching Meds every now and then. While on Miralax, I felt odd. I can't even put my finger on exactly what it was that was disturbing for me. I guess I would say my thoughts were off.. my head felt thick. I am drug sensitive so decided to see what Miralax was made of. I always assumed in was a complex sugar. Well, it isn't. Miralax is polyethelene glycol. That is the same family as antifreeze, which is also sweet. Please, please all of you google "Is Miralax the next Vioxx". I was blown away at how dangerous this OTC drug is. It is lethal to some and life alternating to others. I have been angry at the FDA for how easily meds get approved, ESP over the last couple of decades. The big drug companies end up paying millions for damages (deaths) and then all allowed to continue making the same drug. Have you heard the side effects to many popular meds on TV ads? Since when is "liver failure, cardiac death and renal failure" considered a side effect? We all believe if something is approved, we are safe. We are not. I would still be in Miralax had I not researched it because it worked great. But I could tell it was affecting me in a way that was not good. Thank God I checked. I now pass the word on when I see people are taking it without realizing the dangers. Living creatures are not meant to consume polyethelene glycol. Please google "is Miralax the next Vioxx". You will never use it again. I have zero agenda here outside of trying to inform people of a danger that I am aware of. There will be a class action lawsuit behind Miralax at some point. Don't be in it. Read and share what you have learned. Don't let the big pharmaceutical companies and the FDA be so unbelievably neglectful. Thank you for reading.. kabownds@yahoo.com[/quote]
