How long does it take for suprep to work?

For me the first dose was at 5pm (took 20 minutes to get it down with the extra water) and started working at 6:40. My second dose was at 3am (took a little over 30 mins to get it all down this time) and started working at 4:50am. If you have an early appointment I suggest you take that second dose early - especially if you live over ten minutes from the procedure location.

I've had 7 colonoscopies. (I have Crohn's that is in remission.) This prep is one of the more pleasant ones, although I felt a little bit nauseous. From past experiences, bought some Desitin for diaper rash, which works very well. Downed the prep in two parts - 15 minutes between. My procedure is scheduled for 8:00 am. Took first dose at 5:00 pm followed with the 32 oz. of water. Took about 45 minutes before first trip to the bathroom. It's now 7:30 pm and have gone 4 times. Not feeling any of the urgency described by others who have spent an hour or two in the bathroom. My next dose is at 2:00 am. I did eat a high fiber diet for the previous two days, which cleaned me out fairly well. I'm not looking forward to the second dose. It could be a long night. I don't plan to sleep much... don't want any accidents. Have to leave for the procedure at 6:20 am. Hope this helps someone.

For me it took 45 min to take effect
I’ve been on a fast for the past 2 days as my own prep.
I took first dose at 4:00. It was torture for me. It tasted like grape sea water. I drank 32 oz of water over the next 1/2 hour. After every gulp of the prep I chugged life water-It contains electrolytes and is Ph balanced. I Have been in the bathroom for the past 3 hours. It’s now clear. Next dose is at 11:00 tonight. I dread it. I’m very bloated, no cramping, I’m cold, have a bad headache and am feeling very tired and weak. This is an exhausting procedure mixed with anxiety for me. I don’t want to mess up with the prep and be sent home without a scope. This is my 2nd one. Last time I had that big gallon jug. I didn’t think that was too terrible until the last hour. it’s 2021 and this is still torture. But it’s a necessary procedure. I’m doing this as a routine screening. The dr said if this is as good as the last time six years ago then I won’t have to have another for 10 years.

Using this is so easy. Slam it! It’s no big deal. Works fast. I started at 6pm, was voiding in 20 minutes. All urges were completely gone by bedtime. I slept well. Started again at 6 am and found that completely easy as I was . . . Pretty much empty. Hardest part was containing the giggling (think Dumb and Dumber) and this prep will be a snap!

The first 16 oz. bottle and water dose was taken at 8 p.m. This first dose was followed by the supplied container filled with water to the line two additional times. Since I was to drink two containers of water within the hour of the first dose, I spread it equally over the hour in 20 minute increments. One was at 8:20 p.m. and the other was at 8:40 p.m. About 9:55 p.m., my system began cramping a little and started intermittently flushing. It was quite frequent to begin with, but began to slow down somewhat about 10:40 p.m. At 10:55 p.m., the flushing of my system has slowed down considerably, but has not stopped as yet. The water in the toilet is still dark after each bowel movement. I will take the second dose in the morning.

My first colonoscopy was a complete success and a Boston Bowel Prep score of 9. I admit ,I was really was dreading taking Suprep. Here is a great combination of flavors that make it tolerable.. I mixed the solution with 7-Up and a splash of lime, hardly a gin and tonic, somehow I managed to keep both doses that are required and the water down without any problems. I warn anyone that already has issues with IBS or chronic diarrhea to be prepared , Suprep gets results quickly. It was a manageable 2 hours of watching my iPad on the toilet and a full nights sleep. Second dose in the AM is a little harder to swallow, but no vomiting, cramping, or any other adverse side effects. I highly recommend this for a clean colon, meaning a much better polyp detection. People that don’t finish the prep don’t realize that they are just cheating theirselves.

It took an hour for it to take full effect. And a solid hour n and half of needing to stay close the bathroom. I thought the taste was awful and am not looking forward to the 2nd batch.

It took me about 40 minutes before it started to work. I was ice cold so you may want to keep a warm robe nearby. To make the first glassful palateable, after each few gulps, take a swig of 7-Up. This will counteract the saltiness of it. I felt bloated to the max after the 3 cups fulls and weak but still have to look forward to the second morning dose.

I was able to drink the prep mixed with cold water quickly followed by the 32oz of water over the next 15 minutes. My first movement was within 15 minutes of the first drink and had several visits over the following 3 hours. Tips: Wear warm socks, have a blanket heated in the dryer available to wrap up in - you will feel cold and weak! Fresh ginger tea with honey really helped with relieving nausea. For prevention and relief of soreness, I used pure aloe cream before treatment and after each movement.

I am 26 years old and I just started drinking the surprep at 4pm finished at 4:48pm and then it took effect at 5:14pm it just like you peeing out of your bottom so stay close to the toilet because is you think your done your not and i just started this surprep today at 4pm

It started one hour after drinking the 1st dose. Then I was incontinent for 7 hours. Couldn't sit long on the toilet because it hurt my back and my legs would fall asleep. I was brought Depends and a special pad for fecal incontinence but leaked anyway. I have had a terrible experience with this. Doctor said it's a gentle one and I must have a sensitivity to it. Also, I'm doing it because I'm having a hysterectomy.
