Question : I have chronic kidney disease stage III. Can I use Mirlax for a colonoscopy?

Brief Answer:
yes you can

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Yes you may take mirlax for your colonoscopy. It won't harm you as it is not at all absorbed by your body.

But as it will cause severe diarrhoea, so drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and it may cause abdominal crampa and nausea, but that will be temporary.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards,
Dr. Deepika Patil
