How to prepare Moviprep Orange

  • Open one clear bag and remove the sachets A and B.
  • Add the contents of BOTH sachet A and sachet B to a measuring jug that holds 1 litre.
  • Add water to make up to the one litre mark of the container and stir until all the powder has dissolved and the Moviprep Orange solution is clear or slightly hazy. This may take up to 5 minutes.

 

How to drink Moviprep Orange

Drink the first litre of Moviprep Orange solution over one to two hours. Try to drink a glassful every 10 – 15 minutes.

When you are ready, make up and drink the second litre of Moviprep Orange solution made up with the contents of the sachets A and B from the remaining bag.

During the course of this treatment, you are recommended to drink a further one litre of clear liquid to prevent you feeling very thirsty and becoming dehydrated.Water, clear soup, fruit juice (without pulp), soft drinks, tea or coffee (without milk) are all suitable. These drinks can be taken until two hours before the examination under general anaesthesia at the latest and until one hour before the examination without general anaesthesia at the latest.

What you should expect to happen

When you start drinking the Moviprep Orange solution, it is important that you stay close to a toilet. At some point, you will start to experience watery bowel movements. This is quite normal and indicates that the Moviprep Orange solution is working. The bowel movements will stop soon after you have finished drinking.

If you follow these instructions, your bowel will be clear, and this will help you to have a successful examination. You should allow sufficient time after your last drink to travel to the colonoscopy unit.

If you take more Moviprep Orange than you should

If you take more Moviprep Orange than you should you may develop excessive diarrhoea, which can lead to dehydration. Take generous amounts of fluid, especially fruit juices. If you are worried contact your doctor or pharmacist.

If this is several hours after the time when you should have taken it, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
