MoviPrep has a proven PM/AM Split Dosing regimen, which improves quality bowel preparation and colonoscopy. In a clinical trial evaluating PM/AM Split Dosing vs evening–only dosing, the total number of flat lesions detected in patients who received some preparation the same day as the colonoscopy was significantly higher than in those prepared the evening before.3 In another study, 89.3% of bowel preparations were effective when split dosed vs 69.5% for evening–only preparations.4
