"I also couldn't keep the liquid down, so I used the pill. After 45 minutes, the medicine kicked in with no cramps or bloating. I did mine at 1 PM and 7 PM. I turned in to bed at 11 PM and only had to get up once. Slept great and had my test at 10 AM the next day."

"I have taken OsmoPrep twice, once for my colonoscopy, the second time for surgery. I had no problems either time. No vomiting, cramps, pain. I did have to cut the pills in half because it was difficult for me to swallow them. Other than that, no problems."

"After about the third set of 4 pills, each followed by 8 oz of water, I had projectile vomiting. I was so sick and in so much pain. I thought it was going to be a great alternative to the liquid prep, which I cannot tolerate at all. Now, a week later, I am still having bloating, stomach cramps, black bowel movements, weight gain, and very swollen ankles (which is something I have never suffered from). I also did not take the last set of 4 pills and had to give myself a Fleet's enema to complete the prep. I noticed afterward, however, that it says to use caution if taking lisinopril and oxycodone, so perhaps that is why I had such a difficult time."

"I thought this was the perfect solution for not having to drink a gallon of awful colon cleansing drink. Boy, was I wrong. I ended up vomiting and not being able to finish the last six pills. I had to use 2 Fleet's to finish cleaning it in the morning. It's 2 weeks after my procedure, and I'm still having diarrhea and cramping. Next time, I'm powering through the gallon of prep!"

"OsmoPrep was so easy to use. I could not even swallow one glass of the gallon prep, yet swallowing pills with your choice of liquids that taste good to you was the difference between my having a colonoscopy or taking my chances. My colonoscopy was yesterday and it all went great. I'll recommend this to everyone."
