Osmotic laxative (occasional constipation, bowel prep)Reviewed May 23, 2026

MiraLAX (Polyethylene Glycol) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health

MiraLAX (Polyethylene glycol 3350) (also: GlycoLax, GoLYTELY (high-dose prep))Osmotic laxative (occasional constipation, bowel prep)

Verdict at Tovani Health

Fully compatible with KAP — no systemic absorption.

Polyethylene glycol (MiraLAX) and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. Osmotic laxative that draws water into the bowel; minimal systemic absorption. Very safe across age groups including pediatric and pregnancy use. The intrinsic concern is electrolyte shifts only at high-volume bowel-prep doses (GoLYTELY for colonoscopy), not at standard MiraLAX dosing. Won't bind to oral medications meaningfully the way psyllium does.

If you take MiraLAX regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.

How MiraLAX interacts with ketamine

PEG 3350 is a large inert polymer that holds water in the bowel lumen via osmosis. Minimal absorption. No CYP interaction with ketamine.

What we do at intake

Take as needed. Drink plenty of fluids alongside.
