Can I use this medicine in my children?

Micralax is designed for adults, so it is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

Are there other types of laxatives?

There are several types of laxatives, starting with those of natural origin, osmotic and stimulant laxatives. In this case, Micralax is an osmotic type as it combines sodium citrate, retaining liquid in the intestine and increasing the volume of water in the faeces, which is why it is considered a wetting agent.
