Brief Answer:
Please take at bedtime.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
It is understood that you are seeking instructions on the intake of Miralax which is an osmotic laxative and contains Polyethylene Glycol 3350 as its active component.
As it relieves constipation, it is best taken one cap full mixed with a glass of water at bedtime. This is to be taken only for few days till your constipation is relieved and should not be taken for more than a week or two in normal circumstances.
You will experience clear bowel movements the next morning or within a day depending on your bowel habits.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
