Dialysis patients can often use osmotic laxatives like polyethylene glycol (MiraLAX) or lactulose, as these are generally safe and effective for managing constipation. However, it's crucial for patients to consult their healthcare provider before using any laxative, as individual health conditions and dialysis regimen may affect the choice of laxative. Additionally, stimulant laxatives like bisacodyl or senna may be used cautiously, depending on the patient's overall health and specific needs. Always follow medical advice tailored to the patient's unique situation.
