Bowel Prep not working

I finished taking dose 1 of Plenvu at 8pm it is now 02:30 and still no bowel movement. I am due to take next dose at 6am, should I take if I still haven’t had any bowel movement from dose 1?

  • Hi Kindlek and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry we have not answered your query in time.

    The time it takes for Plenvu to work can vary from person to person. While some may have a bowel movement within  2 hours, for others, it may take several hours, especially if you have a history of constipation.

    We would always recommend that you speak to your GP or hospital team for advice on these situations.

    I hope you found assistance elsewhere. 

    Kind regards
