Posology

Adults (including the elderly) aged 18 years and over

The treatment can be administered in one of the following ways:
•     Usually, one sachet on the evening prior to the procedure and the second sachet in the morning of the day of the procedure.
•     Alternatively, both sachets on the afternoon and evening prior to the procedure. This schedule is more suitable when the procedure is early in the morning.

The time elapsed between the two sachets should be at least 5 hours.

Method of administration

Route of administration: Oral use.

A low residue diet or only clear liquids on the day before the procedure is recommended. No solid food should be taken from the start of the course of treatment until after the procedure.

Because the osmolarity of the product needs to be maintained in order to obtain the desired effect, each sachet should be reconstituted in a cup of water. Do not further dilute the product by drinking liquid immediately after the intake of each sachet.
After a period of ten minutes following the administration of each reconstituted sachet, it is recommended to drink approximately 1.5-2 litres of a variety of clear fluids at a rate of approximately 250-400 ml/h. Clear soups and/or balanced electrolyte solutions would be recommended. It is advisable not to drink clear or demineralised water alone.
The patient should be nil-by-mouth prior to the procedure (usually for at least 2 hours) in accordance with anaesthesia requirements.
