MoviPrep¹¹⁽No food for 2 to 4 h) if appointment is after 9am, Use Split-dose (my opinion)

2. Evening-only regimen http://moviprep.salix.com/assets/pdf/moviprep-evening-dose-patient-instructions.pdf

Evening before colonoscopy: Ingest 1 L PEG over 1 h (240 mL every 15 min). Repeat in 1.5 h. Ingest 1 L of additional clear fluids the evening before colonoscopy

        Example) At 3 p.m. mix the pouch A and B with 1L of warm water, put it in the fridge and no solid food after 3 p.m. At 6 p.m. start drink a cup of solution every 15 min. until finishing 1L of solution, then drink 1/2 liter of clear fluid.
