Liquiprep
Liquiprep is an osmotic laxative containing macrogol (polyethylene glycol 3350) and essential electrolytes. It works by drawing water into the bowel, causing watery stools that thoroughly cleanse the colon before diagnostic procedures or surgeries.
Dosage by Body Weight
For adults, the total volume is typically 2 liters of reconstituted solution, often taken as a split-dose (1 liter the night before the procedure and 1 liter the morning of the procedure). Ensure adequate consumption of additional clear fluids to maintain hydration.
