Moviprep - managed ok. Now waiting for my colonoscopy later on today

Just wanted to update so far.    After not being able to stomach plenvu and literally wrenching after every mouthful  I was prescribed moviprep.  I was dreading it.  I was pleasantly surprised how much better the taste was.  Like a lemsip sort of taste.  I managed to get the two doses down me within the two hours.  There is a lot of liquid but I split it up into 2 x 500ml bottles and did one at a time.  Just wanted to assure anyone who had a similar experience with plenvu that In my opinion moviprep more tolerable despite the larger quantity.  Also I would recommend pm appointments as the doses are split over one evening and one morning rather than an am  appointment which is 2 doses in one evening.   Just sat now relaxing before I set off later for my 4 o'clock appointment for the colonoscopy itself.  

  • Hi Tugs,

    Thank you for sharing your update - it's good to hear you got on better with the moviprep.

    I can see you've also posted since the colonoscopy with an update on how it went. I know the waiting for results is never easy - it's good to hear that the consultant wasn't concerned, and I hope it's not long now before you get the information you need.

    Your experience and updates will no doubt be useful to those looking at the forum who may be going through something similar.

    Wishing you all the best,
