I've had 19 cycles od Vidaza, and constipation and hemorrhoids are a constant battle. Miralax did nothing for me. I have it mostly under control by taking colasce twice a day, fiber-con 3-4 times a day, and prune juice before I go to bed. The addition of the fiber-con is what helped the most. I also take senicot a couple of times a week before bedtime. Drink lots and lots of water. Sometimes at the end of my treatment week, I have to use a Fleet saline enema. If you take zofran (ondansetron) for nausea, take as little as you can get by with - it is very constipating, too. I usually take only one 4 mg. dose an hour before my treatment. Hope this helps! Good luck.
