Hi! I used to take it am/pm. Half of the dosage each time. It made things 'flow' better. If you can tolerate supplements, Magnesium pills are also good to take. That's all I have to take now, with only the occasional need for Miralax.

No, don't do that! It's not a laxative. It just helps you to have a normal bowel movement. There's no cramping, no sudden urge 'to go.' If you are constipated already you should take MOM. Miralax is more for 'maintenance. Do be sure to drinking lots of water because how it works is it pulls water to make your bowels soft.

I take mine early afternoon. It doesn't really matter when you take it.

Twice a day...
