MoviPrep® produces a watery stool which cleanses the colon before colonoscopy. It is recommended that patients receiving MoviPrep® be advised to adequately hydrate before, during, and after the use of MoviPrep®. Patients may have clear soup and/or plain yogurt for dinner, finishing the evening meal at least one hour prior to the start of MoviPrep® treatment. No solid food should be taken from the start of MoviPrep® treatment until after the colonoscopy.

The first bowel movement may occur approximately 1 hour after the start of MoviPrep® administration. Abdominal bloating and distention may occur before the first bowel movement. If severe abdominal discomfort or distention occurs, stop drinking temporarily or drink each portion at longer intervals until these symptoms disappear.
