MOVIPREP INSTEAD OF PICOLAX!

I think everyone’s reaction is different. I found picolax much more violent but other people say different. I find moviprep effective but not too severe. It has quite a lot of stuff to balance your electrolytes. They are different drugs so the quantity does not mean twice the effect. My consultant likes me to have some senna at the start too. The problem with moviprep is some people find it very sickly to drink. I find it ok, but a bit sickly. Lot of people don’t mind it at all. My consultant recommends the orange flavour as slightly less sickly and it helps to make it up beforehand and have it really cold from the fridge. I find the last glass of the second dose about as much as I can take but that’s partly because you are drinking a lot of liquid on an empty stomach. However, I find it much less dehydrating than some preparations. My favourite was citramag but they don’t prescribe that at the hospital my consultant uses and I would rather put up with moviprep and have a consultant who is very good and who I like. Follow the instructions exactly and I usually drink about the same amount of chilled water in addition. Good luck with it all! David.
