Nausea, abdominal fullness and bloating are the most frequent adverse reactions, occurring in up to 50% of patients. Abdominal cramps, vomiting and anal irritation occur less frequently. These adverse reactions are transient. Isolated cases of urticaria, rhinorrhea, dermatitis, and rarely anaphylaxis, angioedema, tongue edema, and face edema have been reported which may represent allergic reactions.

Oral medication administered within one hour of the start of administration of colyte® with flavor packs (peg electrolytes solution) may be flushed from the gastrointestinal tract and not absorbed.
