Miralax and Serax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Miralax (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Serax (oxazepam). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal haemorrhage among females and death among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Miralax and Serax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
