Moviprep - as an out-patient
Preparing for your procedure

Your Doctor wants to examine your large intestine (also called bowel or colon). This is a simple process, but first your bowel must be totally clean so the Doctor can see clearly. Before your examination your Doctor wants you to take MOVIPREP®. This product empties and cleans your bowel.

DO NOT take oral medication 1 hour either side of drinking your MOVIPREP®. Please follow instructions given by your Doctor or Nurse regarding medication.

Please READ this leaflet carefully and follow the instructions. If you have any questions please talk to your Doctor or Nurse. You will be helping make sure the examination goes well by following all instructions.

Inform your Nurse or Doctor IF YOU ARE PRONE TO CONSTIPATION and / or YOU USUALLY FOLLOW A HIGH FIBRE DIET:

You may be asked to take a laxative such as MOVICOL® to overcome the constipation. If you are asked to take MOVICOL®, the dose is 1 sachet daily. This may be increased to 2 – 3 sachets daily if required. If more than 1 sachet is required then the dose may be split (eg morning & night). MOVICOL® is available over the counter from pharmacy or via prescription from your doctor. Please follow any instructions given by your Nurse or Doctor.
