Plenvu Dosage

Important Preparation and Administration Instructions

•

Correct fluid and electrolyte abnormalities before treatment with PLENVU [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

•

Two doses of PLENVU are required for a complete preparation for colonoscopy. The time interval between the two doses depends on the regimen prescribed and the planned timing of the colonoscopy procedure [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.3)].

•

The recommended “Two-Day Split Dosage” method consists of two separate doses: the first dose is taken the evening before the colonoscopy and the second dose is taken the next day, the morning of the day of the colonoscopy [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

•

The recommended “One-Day Morning Dosage” method consists of two separate doses: both doses are taken in the morning of the day of the colonoscopy, with a minimum of 2 hours between the start of the first dose and the start of the second dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

•

Reconstitute each pouch of PLENVU in the mixing container with water prior to ingestion. It may take 2 to 3 minutes for complete dissolution. Do not reconstitute with other liquids and/or add starch-based thickeners to the mixing container [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].

•

Consume additional clear liquids (including water) in both dosing regimens [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
