MiraLax Is Gentle, but Is It Safe?

Miralax is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) laxative, which has been prescribed because it is "gentle."

However, PEG is used, experimentally to fuse mammalian cells together in the laboratory. I think it is probably fine, now and then, for relief or medical procedures, but I do not recommend it as a regular thing, and will survey the literature and watch the tabloids (just kidding!) for more information.
