Preparation Remove the cap from the tube. Squeeze out a drop of liquid to lubricate the tip. This makes it easier to insert. Sit on the toilet. Administration Gently insert the tip of the Microlax tube into your anus. Squeeze the tube completely empty. While keeping the tube squeezed, gently remove it to prevent the liquid from flowing back. After administration Stay seated on the toilet for 5 to 10 minutes to keep the liquid inside your bowel. Usually, you will have a bowel movement within 5 to 20 minutes.
