Not sure. I do know my poor 6 year old grandson gets it from his mom. 😡He has been having bowel issues since he was born. I’ve tried to get them to take him to a GI they won’t listen to anything i say😢

Miralax takes a few days to work. Once you find the right amount to take for you it's great. I take half a dose every day.

You can try Fleet glycerine suppositories. They work in about 15-30 minutes and no need to worry about ingesting medications if you are afraid of systemic effects.
