SUPREP®


 

Colonoscopy is a routine, generally safe procedure used to examine the colon. There are steps that you, the patient, must take before the procedure to ensure the highest level of safety and effectiveness.
 
1. Make arrangements to have someone drive you home after the procedure. Colonoscopy involves sedation, and you will not be allowed to leave unaccompanied.
2. Follow your physician’s instructions regarding medicines to avoid and diet to follow before your procedure.
3. Finish the entire bowel prep regimen as described on the following page, unless otherwise directed by a physician.
 
SUPREP is a low-volume bowel preparation that you take as a split-dose regimen. A split-dose regimen means that you take two 6-ounce bottles of SUPREP. The first 6-ounce bottle is taken the evening before your colonoscopy and the second 6-ounce bottle is taken the morning of your colonoscopy. It is important to drink the additional water as recommended in the Instructions for Use.

SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit cleans your colon by causing you to have diarrhea. Cleaning your colon helps your doctor see the inside of your colon more clearly during your colonoscopy.
