Equate ClearLAX Polyethylene Glycol 3350 Powder for Solution, Unflavored, 30 Doses, Compare to MiraLAX Active Ingredient

This does exactly what it's supposed to do. It dissolves well in water or other beverage and the inherent flavor is minimal enough that I can mix it into 32oz of flavored water and I can't taste it at all. It's also way cheaper than the exact same stuff in the name brand bottle.

Gentle, effective. Easy to adjust amount of the dose to just enough for a predictable effect specific to the individual. A half dose/cap might be enough. It works by pulling water into the intestine which softens stool. Easy to use. Mix well in any 8 oz of water, juice, tea, or coffee, and also stay hydrated. Can help keep things soft to ease a flare-up of a hemorrhoid or fissure. Same as Miralax. You may have used it as a prep for colonoscopy, but at normal, lower doses it acts as a regular gentle laxative or stool softener.

As someone living with chronic constipation, this has been a game-changer for me. Equate ClearLAX Polyethylene Glycol 3350 Powder works just as effectively as MiraLAX since it uses the same active ingredient (polyethylene glycol 3350), but it costs noticeably less, which makes it much more sustainable for long-term use. For my routine, it reliably softens stools without harsh cramping or sudden urgency when I stay consistent with hydration. It typically takes about 1–3 days to really kick in, which matches what I've experienced with other PEG 3350 products as well. What I appreciate most is that it feels gentle rather than “forceful,” so it's easier to incorporate into daily life without worrying about being caught off guard. In terms of affordability, this store-brand version has made a big difference. I used to hesitate to stay consistent with MiraLAX because of the cost, but switching to this has helped me manage symptoms more consistently without that concern. Overall, if you deal with chronic constipation, this is one of those simple, reliable options that does what it's supposed to do—and doing it at a lower price point makes it even better.

If you want immediate or even overnight relief, then this is not what you need. If you are irregular with your bathroom sessions %26 want to avoid being impacted until everything on your body hurts, invest in this stuff. I take it every other night.

Just stick with it %26 you will be glad you did so you never have to opt to giving yourself an enema ever again. If it:a too often, instead of daily then change to every other day or every two days whichever is best for you %26 your body. It will work if you stick with it.

I have had gut problems for about 5 years and need to use a daily stimulant. I have used the name brand several times until I discovered that Equate ClearLax was the exact same ingredients and work just as well. The cap allows for easy and accurate dosing. The powder dissolves easily in any drink I have placed it in. I have put it in my morning coffee I have used it in Juice and I have also used it in water without noticing any taste in the product that would disturb the taste of any of the drinks I am having. the best part is that this is safe enough to use daily as long as your doctor states that it is okay for you. I have been using it everyday for well over 4 years and I find that it makes my life a lot easier as well as helping to keep me regular.

I find that about 3/4 capful in my morning coffee, and usually 3 or 4 times a week, works best for me. Sometimes a little adjustment is needed depending on 1) level of activity, 2) type of food eaten, 3) amount of food eaten, 4) medications that cause constipation. While essentially tasteless, I think it alters just slightly the taste of my coffee. So grateful that this product is available, easy to use, and consistently effective.

I am a chemist and an engineer, and this product is the same as the name brand and works just as well, in my opinion and experience. Definitely recommend. It's easy to add to any drink, such as tea, coffee, juice or plain water, and it has no taste. It works by absorbing water as it passes through the digestive system, providing bulk and keeping things soft. Highly recommend.

What do I like? there is no taste, It dissolves easily, provides the necessary relief, what I don't like: I find holding the container a bit uncomfortable due to its shape, and I need to be extremely careful, when filling the cap because it flows out so quickly its easy to over fill or even spill on the counter. If it had an insert in the top of the bottle that another named brand uses it would alleviate this problem because it would slow down the flow . As far as does it do what it is stated it will do? Yes. I recommend it

Gastroenterologist recommended I use this in the morning to keep me regular and ease my IBS. I put it in my coffee and never taste it. Only use a teaspoon and it keeps me consistent and regular. Equate definitely works as well as name brand and costs less, although still fairly pricey.

The equate version of MiraLAX tends to clump a little bit, so I have to shake it before I pour it. Other than that, I don't think there's any difference except it's less expensive!
