Hello,
Miralax is quite effective and quite safe. It increases the fluid in the bowel. Stimulants of gut activity (like Senokot), get the gut used to them and the gut shuts down after they are not taken. Miralax doesn't have this addiction property. Neither do stool softeners like Colace (which is chemical, soap).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
