Miralax - Pre Mixing

I read somewhere that I could pre mix Miralax in the morning for Colonoscopy prep day and leave the mixture in the fridge all day so I didn't have to take time to mix when I get home from work. So I did, then I had to reschedule my procedure before I got home from work for 3 days later. Would the mixture still be good? Or do I need to buy more?

As per the manufacturer's instructions - "Do not mix the MiraLAX earlier than the morning before your procedure."

They don't go on to mention any particular reason why (which I find odd - and perhaps that information should be questioned), but for now it sounds like your best bet would be to start fresh and then follow protocol again.

Additional feedback from other patients on how to prepare for the colonoscopy can also be found here on medschat when you run a search for "colonoscopy".

I hope this helps!
