Pendopharm G.I. Solutions Bi-PegLyte Bowel Prep Kit

How to Use For use in cleansing of the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in adults. Patient directions Use only under the directions of a health care professional. On the day before your examination or procedure, have a breakfast no later than 11h00 am or as specified by your doctor. After the breakfast, no solid foods or milk, except clear liquids, should be taken. You can restart to eat solid foods and milk only after your examination or procedure. No antacids should be taken within one hour of taking the bisacodyl tablets. Your physician will tell you what time of the day to start your treatment. Make sure you drink all of the solution. You will begin to have watery bowel movements within 1 hour and continue to have loose bowel movements for 1 to 2 hours after finishing the solution. Lavage is complete when fecal discharge is clear. Preparation of the solution: 1. Dissolve the entire contents of one sachet in 1 L (32 ounces) of water and mix rapidly until a clear solution forms. Repeat the step with the second sachet. Do not add any ingredients (e.g. flavouring), to the solution. 2. Refrigerate the solution as chilling improves the taste. Using a straw can help to make PEG/electrolytes solution taste better, this way the solution may go down faster and thus minimize its taste. 3. Use the freshly-made solution within 48 hours and discard unused portion.
