Bowel Cleansing Kit

You will be given a combination of liquid diet, laxatives, or enemas for up to two days prior to the test with instructions on how to use them. Several medications are available for bowel cleansing, including polyethylene glycol 3350 (GoLYTELY, NuLYTELY), magnesium citrate (Citroma), and senna (X-Prep). These medications produce diarrhea, which can be uncomfortable, but unless the bowel is completely empty of stool, the test can be limited and may need to be repeated at a later date.

LOSO PREP bowel cleansing system is also available from the NYU Medical at Columbus Radiology Department.
