Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Don't know a lot from experience with my own patients, but my husband's a pediatrician, and has confidence in using it. He's told me in the past it does not cause dependency. Maybe that helps! Kerry Regnier, MPH, RD, LDN Re: Miralax FYI - it is OTC now.
