I have IBS and my surgeon gave me Suprep for my recent colonoscopy. My husband, who does not have IBS, recently had a colonoscopy [and has another doctor] and was given Moviprep. My surgeon prefers Suprep.
There is so much of it to drink at one time, that I would rather try the Moviprep next time. [five years] I could not get all the Suprep down without getting sick...
It will depend on your doctor but if you are given the choice, the Moviprep is taken in smaller doses... [more often]
