Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I had done some reviews and didn't want to go through the horrible liquid prep. I chose the pills. I went through the prep and was scared, but honestly, the worst part is being on the liquid diet all day. I bought Dude wipes in mint scent and used those on my frequent trips to the bathroom. The next morning, I did my second round of Sutab, and it was pretty easy. About an hour before I was supposed to leave for my prep, I developed a low-grade fever. By the time I got to the doctor's office, it was 101.2, and they were unable to do the prep. I had to reschedule for my second time, and I chose the Sutab again. I'll definitely take some pills with water over some nasty salty lemon-lime drink. I recommend Sutab for colonoscopy prep."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Went through the prep EXACTLY as instructed...no food, clear liquids ect etc. After first Sutab batch, nothing, I wait and wait and wait. Like 7 hours in things happened, but not enough, and by then I was into 'Part Two' of Sutab...not much occurred anyway, some, not nearly what I expected. Needless to say, I have to redo (NOT with Sutab), and this wasted a day of prep and my procedure day (and my ride's day), so I ABSOLUTELY do not recommend this if you really want to get your colonoscopy over with."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "This is my second colonoscopy and my first time using Sutab. It took 2 hours after taking pills before it started working. It also cleaned out my colon very well. Unfortunately it felt like I was pooping acid each time I had a bowel movement. It has been 4 days since I had the procedure and I have severe nausea and am still following a bland diet when I’m able to eat. Also I’m dizzy ,weak and exhausted. My first procedure I didn’t have any of these problems using the liquid prep. I will never use Sutab again."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "This was my first colonoscopy and I saw that pills were available instead of the drink. I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before asking for the pills. My experience was great. 2 days before the procedure I ate very lightly, a bit of rice with a fish stew. One day before the colonoscopy, I pretty much water fasted except for a bottle of coconut water. At 5pm, I took the 12 pills in 15 minutes with the 16 oz of water and within 30-45 minutes it started working. No cramps, no headaches, I just went to the bathroom a lot. I went to bed around 11pm and slept great. My procedure was at 3pm, so I started the next set of pills at 8am. I was done drinking the 3rd cup of water by 11am. It worked as it should have, thankfully no side effects for me. I had a score of 9 for the bowel prep, which is the highest score for a perfectly clean colon."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I would give Sutab a 10. This was my second colonoscopy and Sutab worked excellently for me. The first colonoscopy I ever had 10 years ago the liquid prep made me so sick I was in tears. This time the Sutab prep was so much better. After my first dose at 4.00 pm, I started going to the bathroom in about 30 minutes, my next dose was at 10 PM. My procedure was at 6.30 am the next morning. After the second dose, I only had clear liquid coming out. This is the only prep I will use from now on. Thank God I had no polyps and my prep was excellent. I definitely would use Sutab again and I highly recommend it."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "This was my first colonoscopy, and Sutab was SO easy compared to what I expected. I took all the pills as required and drank all the water. It worked within a half hour of finishing the first 12 pills, and, while not super fun, it was what I expected for colonoscopy prep. Same with second dose, which I took later that night (early morning colonoscopy). The only side effect I had was a bit of nausea about half hour after each round of pills. So, in all, super easy to take and did its job!"

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I had a colonoscopy today and wanted to share my notes. For prep day I woke up and ate cream of wheat and coffee. For rest of afternoon had lemon water ice , white cranberry juice and lime jello. Took first bottle of sutab pills at 5:00. I would take a pill w/ swig of watermelon Hint water and then eat a yellow or green gummy bear. I drank directly out of bottle which was 16 Oz. Then took a bubble bath. After drank a bottle of 24 Oz peach propel. Bowels got moving at this point. No pains or other side effects. At 7:00 did 2 capfuls of miralax. and at 9:00 did 2nd bottle of sutabs. I used the gummy bear candies again as incentive. I only did 10 pills this round. Then at 10:00 drank another bottle of propel. I felt a bit of nausea- burped and felt relieved. Then bowels got moving . Went to slept at midnight and woke up a few times. By this point it looked like watered down tea. I woke up at 6:00 am to go to procedure and clear water came out. Overall worked out for me w/ some tweaking."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "This medication needs to be withdrawn as a bowel prep, It has caused several people to have terrible gastric discomfort. Nausea ,vomiting and abdominal pain. Causes too much discomfort before the procedure is done."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "These are vile in every single way! Worst experience of my life and it’s still happening. First dose induced gnarly cramping as well as horrific chest pain. It is how I imagine a massive heart attack would feel! Took hours to begin working and the results are violent! Just began my second dose 20 minutes ago. 5 pills in and I was projectile vomiting. After about five straight minutes of that, it subsided for now, but I’m pretty sure I lost it all. Still riddled with the chest pain and cramping. My head is now throbbing and I’m shaking so violently that this is taking far too long to type. I’m so angry! I was given no choice. It was only Sutab. This is not my first prep. They are typically unpleasant, but this has been the worst night! No sleep! I paid way too much money for one of the worst nights of my life and I will likely have to cancel. I will not be rescheduling because I will NEVER do this again! Way to go Doc! You prescribed me a bad drug and have traumatized me!"

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I was a bit nervous, having seen so many of the negative comments. Here is my experience: Day Before: Stopped eating solids at noon. I took my first bottle (12 tablets) at 5:30 pm with 16 oz of water. I followed this with another 16 oz an hour later, and another 16 oz 30 min after that. I had some bone broth for 'dinner' along with apple juice. Yes, I was hungry, but it was manageable. There was no nausea, just a slight rumbling of the belly. When it was time to go, it was TIME TO GO. Between 6:40 pm and 10:30 pm I had 6 BMs. No cramping, no nausea. By 10:30 pm, my body was done for the day and I slept soundly. Day Of: Second bottle of pills at 6:30 am with the same water regimen as the day before. Had some broth and juice again. I was definitely hungry at this point. The rumbling was a little more active this day, my guess is partially due to my empty stomach and hunger. With that said, no cramping or nausea. 5 more BMs over the next 5 hours and then the procedure. EASY!"

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Absolutely horrible. First time use, stomach cramps still bothering me since the second dose 2 days ago. Used the drink for my 1st colonoscopy 5 years ago and will never touch sutab again. Excruciating pain in the stomach."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I was asked to use Sutap Bowel Prep Kit Oral before a colonoscopy. I was given instruction about the procedure. I followed the instructions carefully. The night before the procedure I took the first dose of 12 pills and took the water per the instructions. It took three hours before I started discharging. I felt uncomfortable and it felt like my colon was inflamed. The discharge did not feel complete because my colon was so inflamed and tight. At 02:00 the next morning I took the second dose of 12 pills and finished the pills by 02:20. I stayed up and drank the required fluids (water) and started discharging at about 03:45. I colon was tight and felt inflamed by the pills. The discharges came in spurts with great pressure and my anus swollen. I was very uncomfortable. I went to my colonoscopy appointment at 07:00. My procedure was at 07:30. The Doctor did remove 1 to 2 polyps during the procedure. The procedure was painful and the Pills did not clean me out completely."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Took as directed and had only 1 bm. I will probably have to redo the colonoscopy. Also knowing the chemicals that make up this "drug" it is a scam. Wonder why the University of Washington is so high on it? Who owns and makes this?"

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I was skeptical because I had read many of the reviews and quite a few were negative. However, due to always getting sick on the other preps, I decided to give this one a try. Everyone reacts differently to meds, and my personal experience was a positive one. I took the first dose, 1 pill every 2 minutes per the suggestion of several prior reviews. I followed the prep instructions exactly as written. I still had some nausea but didn’t get sick. It was by far the easiest prep I have ever taken and this is my 4th colonoscopy. One of the downfalls is that you don’t really get a break from the cycle of pooping. I only got about an hour of sleep. The pills are large, so if you have trouble swallowing large pills, you might have trouble with this prep as there are 24 pills you need to take in total. But, I would still choose to use this prep again as it was much easier than those high volume liquid preps or magnesium citrate."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Took first 12 pills as prescribed at 6 pm followed by drinking 16 oz within 15 min of taking pills, then another 16 oz an hour later, and another 16 oz an hour after that. The pills left a weird taste after swallowed and I broke out with a rash all over my body within the first hour of taking the pills. The rash subsided. I had to drink a lot of water between the required 16 oz because of the weird taste from the pills. Took about 1.5 hours for the pills to work. Very uncomfortable and finally stopped discharging by 10 pm. Took the second dose 8 hours before my 7 am appointment, so only a couple of hours of sleep. While all discharge was clear early morning, by my appointment it was not and as a result I need to do it again. I will not use this medication again."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "While it worked enough to have a successful colonoscopy, the side effects were awful. I followed the directions perfectly. Woke up with an excruciating headache, nausea, and vomiting. After receiving anti-nausea medication and Tylenol through an IV, 19 hours later I still have a bad headache. Both a doctor and nurse at the outpatient facility told me that over 50% of patients experience these same symptoms."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I fasted, drank only clear liquids, and took the pills as directed. The first bottle went fine. About 30 minutes after I finished the first bottle I ran to the bathroom. I experienced two more severe bowel movements before even starting the second. Barely got through the second bottle when I vomited clear liquid. This was around 8:30 pm, spent the next 5 hours running to and or sitting on the bowl. This is my second colonoscopy, my first experience with the liquid went fine. This was a horrible experience- bloating, cramping. Will not take this ever again."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Best and easiest prep used after 3 previous preps. Follow the directions and you’ll breeze through. No taste, easy evacuation and great results. Through 2 doses, I had 5 bowel movements in total. Drank tons of liquids, but felt great, process was quick, efficient and concise."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I was worried about several things: Nausea/vomiting, being able to take large pills since that's a problem for me, the amount of water I was expected to drink, and the possibility of gas pain and headaches. I did take Zofran, which prevented nausea, took GasX, and so didn't suffer gas pain, and the pills were coated, which helped them go down. Still have problems with the amount of water, so still working on that. I also have a padded toilet seat, which helped immensely! Something I forgot to get was cleansing wipes, and I am very sore. I noted from previous reviews that sometimes the medicine is sluggish to start, so I moved my start time up several hours, which will also help my sleep schedule. Overall, an unexpectedly positive experience. Hoping the doctor will say it worked."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I asked for Sutab since I was having a 2nd colonoscopy in less than a year and did not want to do Plenvu again. I already take a lot of psychiatric/pain medication so swallowing all of those pills in short bursts of time was not a problem for me. I would not recommend it for people who have difficulty swallowing large pills because you have to take 12 of them within 20 minutes and then 12 more on the morning of your procedure. The first dose hardly cleaned me out but that is probably because of inadequate hydration & diet in the days leading up to the prep. I felt nauseous a few hours later so I took a Zofran 30 minutes before taking the 2nd dose. That one did the trick and I was finished clearing out in time. The doctor’s report said that my preparation was adequate. I will do Sutab in the future. P.S. I have heard that this med is expensive and insurance may not cover it. I was lucky and got a complete box for free from my doctor so I don’t know about the cost."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Took this prep the day before my colonoscopy at 5 pm as stated. Didn't start working till midnight! Took the second dose and nothing happened. Felt bloated and sick, and could not drink any more water than recommended. Had a colonoscopy scheduled but have to go back in a year because I wasn’t “cleaned out” and yet I followed directions accurately. Next time will use the liquid form what a waste of time!!"

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "After reading your reviews, I was hesitant to try Sutab. But I already purchased it ($110) and decided to take a chance. It worked perfectly for me with no cramps, no nausea, no explosive bowels; none of the adverse issues reported here. The pills are coated and no larger than a calcium tablet. My preparation was good, and my procedure went well. The problem for me was that the instructions were very difficult to understand. Also, I was expecting action after the first bottle of tablets. Nothing happened until about 30 minutes after completing the second bottle. I almost thought that this was not going to work. It did not take long, maybe two hours, to empty my colon. These things might be helpful - I took a laxative two days before starting Sutab, I ate light - no meat and heavy foods; I hydrated with a gallon of water the day before; and I had hot ginger tea before and during prep. I highly recommend a bidet. I barely used any toilet tissue during the prep, and my bottom stayed happy."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "The worst bowel prep I have used. It caused nausea and vomiting and I was unable to keep down the second dose. They are large pills and not the best thing to take before a bowel prep. I drank plenty of water and took Zofran but it did not work well. Would not recommend it."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "Pills went down easily...90 minutes in and I began to vomit horribly. I immediately had a horrible headache and decided to not take the second round. The prep did begin to work but my side effects were a weird taste in my mouth for days...a headache and neck ache for a week or better. Decided to go back to the Suprep. I was really hoping it was a better alternative for me."

Sutab (magnesium sulfate / potassium chloride / sodium sulfate) for Bowel Preparation "I had zero issues with taking the Sutab prep. I followed the directions to the letter. I took the entire 20 minutes taking each set of pills, sipping water rather than gulping. I did experience a brief period of slight nausea (5-10 min), but nothing compared to trying to keep down previous liquid preps. Also, you can expect to get a chill just like liquid preps, but it was not as extreme. I am going to classify this as a kinder, gentler prep. It did take longer to activate evacuation, but it was not extreme once things got moving. I would use this again and would recommend it to others."
