Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take all three at the same time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Yes, you can take ducosate, miralax, and milk of magnesia at the same time. Once you start having diarrhea, I would recommend stopping the milk of magnesia and only taking miralax or ducosate.

I would also recommend a colonoscopy if your constipation continues.
