I took MoviPrep and followed the instructions given by a specialist nurse. I was quite worried about the procedure but needn’t have been, it was painless and quick. I had sedation, and just relaxed me, didn’t go to sleep or anything. Then straight into recovery, after about 20 minutes, got dressed, went into the waiting area, had a cup of tea and biscuits. Discharged from there with results. Absolutely brilliant staff.

The good news is that the death rate from colorectal cancer has been dropping over the last several decades — thanks to early detection through colonoscopy screening.

Lower-volume doses will require drinking extra liquids, such as water, to work best. Depending on the prep type, your provider may recommend splitting the dose in half or thirds.
