Taken Moviprep Before Colonoscopy. How Do I Know If It's Working?

I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. I took the first dose of moviprep and have gone to the bathroom multiple times. It is now clear and I m taking my second dose at 2 am. I have been on clear liquids for 2 days. I hope the prep will allow me to have a good reading tomorrow, how do I know if it is working? I certainly don t want to repeat this test in 6months.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am happy you are getting ready for your routine colonoscopy tomorrow. This tells me how much attention you pay to your health. Thumbs up. I wish you the best o possible outcomes tomorrow.

Moviprep is meant to send you to the bathroom multiple times. I can tell this si exactly what you have reported and I am pretty sure it would do a good job as you have already started to report clear stools. With that of tomorrow at 2AM, you should be fine and not worried about having to repeat the procedure in 6months.

So basically, the clear stools are the desired goal and this is the best way to judge the efficacy of this. you are doing good. Hope this answers your query. All the best and wish you a god tolerance and findings tomorrow.
