A colonoscopy is a routine, generally safe, pain–free procedure used to examine the colon. To ensure the effectiveness and safety of the procedure,
there are several steps that you must take during your colonoscopy prep with MoviPrep.

Unlike other PEG bowel preparations, MoviPrep can be taken as an evening–before dose or a split dose.
For the evening–before regimen, all of the MoviPrep bowel prep solution is taken the night before the colonoscopy procedure. For the split–dose
regimen, the MoviPrep bowel prep solution is divided equally between the night before the colonoscopy and the morning of the procedure.
Regardless of which bowel preparation dosing method you and your doctor choose, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding MoviPrep
or any other prescription medications.
MoviPrep® (PEG-3350, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid for oral solution) is indicated for cleansing of the
colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in adults 18 years of age or older. MoviPrep is contraindicated in patients who have had a severe hypersensitivity reaction
to any of its components. MoviPrep should be used with caution in patients using concomitant medications that increase the risk of electrolyte abnormalities, in patients with known or suspected hyponatremia,
severe ulcerative colitis, ileus, gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation, gastric retention, toxic colitis, toxic megacolon, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. In clinical trials, abdominal
distention, anal discomfort, thirst, nausea, and abdominal pain were the most common adverse reactions to MoviPrep administration. MoviPrep contains a maximum of 2.33 mg of phenylalanine per treatment.
