Miralax Powder With Strange Odor (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I've been taking MiraLAX for over five years now on a regular basis and I've had no problems. My problem now is the last two bottles that I bought had a chemical odor smelled like kerosene. The bottles were fresh I did buy them at Sam's Club but cannot understand why these two bottles had a strange smell even after it was mixed up. I usually drink mine in coffee and there's never been an odor like this before. Has anyone else experienced this? I've had five abdominal surgeries and this is the only thing that helps me but now I'm afraid to buy anymore. Please help me if you can.

I’m having the same issue but it tasted funny as well. I called the company and it’s not supposed to. I went and bought a second bottle a few days ago and same thing. I just returned it

That's odd, I had bought Miralax for years, jsut in the last month got the weird smell. I thought it ws just one bottle, so I didn't use it and bought another. Same weird smell. This is April 2020.

I just bought a MiraLax 8.3oz bottle and experienced the same odor. Odd because I've taken off brands also in and no issues. I contacted the manufacturer and got refunded.

I got a off brand of Miralax from my pharmacy cause they couldn't find anything else. It's smells and taste awful. Kinda what this 5 year thread as compared it to. Ugh.

I use Miralax daily, in warm tea, or to limit my caffeine, I will use 2 teaspoons of jello mix in my hot water. Love the jolly rancher watermelon best!!! Well, my new bottle of Miralax made it taste like rotten meat, and the bottle smells like Elmer's glue. Yuck!!! I will not drink this!!!

I bought a Miralax bottle from Walgreens and experienced the same issue. Very strong chemical odor and whatnot. I stopped continuing immediately and contacted costumer service. They issued me a refund and only taking off brand now which haven't had any issues.

I, too, give my cat a tsp of miralax. Had purchased a small bottle and he seemed okay with it ~ did not seem to notice it in his food ~ Yay!
About 1/2 way down in the bottle now and he now seems to not want to eat it if I have added his Miralax !?
