Your doctor may recommend this bowel preparation for various abdominal or rectal surgeries. He will provide you with a prescription for this at his office or it may be called into your local pharmacy.
The doctor will provide you with the date.
The morning before your surgery, begin a CLEAR LIQUID DIET. You will be on this diet the entire day. For Dr. Marx, these liquids include water, soft drinks, coffee, tea, popsicles, jello, broth, or clear juices.
At 12:00pm, take 2 Dulcolax tablets with a large glass of water.
At 2:00pm, take 4 Osmoprep tablets every 15 minutes with at least 8 ounces of any clear liquid until all 20 tablets have been consumed.
AT 8:00pm, take 4 Osmoprep tablets every 15 minutes with at least 8 ounces of any clear liquid until the remaining 12 tablets have been consumed.
Stay hydrated by drinking all required clear liquids during the prep
