Therapeutic use: A regimen that administered the first dose of sodium phosphate on the previous evening and a second dose on the morning of the procedure hours apart was significantly more effective than PEG-based regimens for colorectal cleansing in preparation for colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or colorectal surgery.

A regimen that administered both doses of oral sodium phosphate on the day prior to the procedure offered no colorectal cleansing advantage over PEG-based regimens and was significantly less effective than an oral sodium phosphate solution regimen that administered one dose on the previous evening and a second dose on the morning of the procedure.

Oral sodium phosphate solution was generally as effective as other colorectal cleansing solutions including magnesium citrate-containing regimens with sodium picosulfate.

The direct costs of a diagnostic colonic examination with oral sodium phosphate solution were less than those with PEG US dollars vs US dollars per patient; values , according to data from a US study. Oral sodium phosphate solution was significantly more effective than a commercially available tablet formulation as a colorectal cleanser prior to colonoscopy data from one study only.

And he gave me a prescription for go litely. I am afraid it is not safe either and I am trying to find an alternative to go litely as a colonoscopy prep. It has propylene glycol as one of its ingredients. Anyone knows of something truly safe to use as a prep for a colonoscopy? Different out-come, but worth noting.

That evening I suffered a heart attack and was totally unconscious and on life support for 3 days. They brought me back from death 4 times. There is nothing wrong with the proper use of Fleet PhosphoSoda as a prep for a colonoscopy! The problem has arrisen by people repeatedly using it improperly as a cleansing agent. This seems to me to be an unreasonable cost for a prep material and further leads me to question what incentive is being given the Drs.

The Moviprep is a far less user friendly substitute for the Fleet product for us. I completely agree with John and Mary. I have ulcerative colitis and so usually do a colonoscopy every year. Had I known I would have stocked up and just kept in the refrigerator. I CANNOT drink the half gallon of gag juice, and swore I would never have another colonoscopy if that — or any other gag juice — was the only alternative. I understand you can do a Miralax prep, its still a lot of liquid but without the gag taste.

Does anyone have a hidden stock of Phospho?? I would pay dearly for some. Polyethylene glycol, used in laxatives, is not the same as Ethylene glycol, the toxic anti-freeze that kills kids and pets. Polyethylene glycol may or may not be safe, but it is not acutely poisonous. Up until , I had to either drink the disgusting gallon thing, or Fleet.

I suffer Ulcerative Colitis. The last colonoscopy, the Dr. He also added correctol. Which was a great alternative to both Fleet and Golytely. I had a C-sec with my one child. I also have had many bladder infections-all under age Lately, I have incontinence from time to time. My first colonscopy was in And I had to drink Fleet for some of my colonoscopies between then and now.

I drank water. I followed the instructions. To me the miralax seemed better. I had two colonoscopies while in the USAF and used this Fleet stuff prior to the procedures both times.

I never told him about taking Fleet as I never knew it was dangerous to healthy kidneys. I am scheduled for my second colonoscopy next week and am thoroughly disgusted with the cost of the prep. Last time I used Fleet — everything was fine, taste was not bad when used with Sierra Mist, and the cost was minimal. The drug companies are making a killing by bilking the public with this kind of nonsense. I took fleet before a colonoscopy in I have had distal ulcerative colitis for 23 years.

I am a 46 year old female and have always been healthy and sporty apart from the UC.
