For Bowel Preparation "As a colon cancer patient, I have had colonoscopies every 6 months for years. As an old pro, I must say that I have NEVER experienced anything remotely as totally ineffective as this supposed preparation. As a result, I must reschedule for after the first of the year and pay my full medical deductible immediately, rather than no cost because the deductible is already met for this year. My husband will be docked pay for taking off to drive me. I will have to take another week off blood thinner. And I feel nauseated, bloated, and angry. Shame on Prepopik for taking good folks' money with false claims!"

For Bowel Preparation "I have had many colonoscopies, and this was the worst prep I ever used. None are pleasant, but for me, this is the worst. Took the first packet at 2:00 pm. It took an hour to start working and produced several loose bowel movements and lots of cramping and nausea. Took the second dose 6 hours later at 8:00 pm. Had a loose b.m. within 15 minutes and then nothing until four hours later after lots of cramping and bloating. I have consumed way more liquid than the instructions say to, and it is now 3:00 AM and I am still not clean. My scope is scheduled for 11 AM, and my experience tells me there is no way I will be clean by then. I STRONGLY ADVISE you to not use this."

For Bowel Preparation "The stuff is nuclear. I hated it, but it cleaned me out big time. Second dose gave me a huge headache, nausea, dry heaves, dizziness, sweats, chills, and fear. I was totally cleaned out. Third colonoscopy, but first and last time on this."

For Bowel Preparation "Second routine colonoscopy - first one phospho soda prep - not available anymore - terrible but clean bowel. This time on Prepopik - terrible - fainted twice - nausea - and 1/4 not cleaned out - recommended repeat in one year I don't think so - Stuff tasted okay."

For Bowel Preparation "Today I started my prep at 4 pm as instructed. I then drank a container of broth, 32 ounces, ginger ale, and water. Way more than the cups I was prescribed. All this caused was nausea and stomach cramps. Not one BM. Second dose at 8 pm. Already up to 40 ounces of fluids. I feel bloated. Nothing else. I haven't eaten in 24 hours. Thankfully, it was a sample."

For Bowel Preparation "I took the split dose at 8:00 pm. Within an hour, I was sick to my stomach. At 1:30, I started throwing up while sitting on the toilet. I have not felt so nauseous in a long time. At 2:30 am, I was scheduled to take another dose, which I promptly started throwing up. I was still very nauseated until the colonoscopy at 7:30 am. I am now scheduled for another colonoscopy because the bowels were not clean enough in 5 years, even though there were no polyps or any other issues. I will never have another colonoscopy because of my experience."

For Bowel Preparation "I thought it was super easy, didn't have any nausea or cramping. Was fearing worst, and it cleaned me out by 3 a.m. Expensive at $50, but covered by my HSA card."
