Anyone Ever Use Osmoprep Tablets? Posted: 09-14-07 10:04am
I have to go in for my 3 year colonoscopy.
I have to do it every 3 years because
colon cancer runs in the family on both
sides and they found polyps the last time.
I can't take the liquid stuff anymore, I
throw it up everytime so not as well
"prepared" (if you know what I mean) when
I go in. I just read about these and they
sounded great. A tablet that can do what
the liquid does, why didn't they come up
with this years ago! Anyone use them?

Hi!
I haven't used OsmoPrep tablets, but I'm
sure they'll solve the single largest
barrier to colorectal cancer screening and
that is the patient unwillingness to take
a bowel preparation. This tablets are
great replacement for four liters of
polyethylene glycol. You should know that
it is very important that patients
receiving OsmoPrep are advised to
adequately hydrate before, during, and
after the use of OsmoPrep. There are
clinical evidences that these tablets are
very effective and well-tolerated, but
also can cause some serious demages in
very rare cases.
