Moviprep Morning Appointment

How to prepare and
take MOVIPREP ®
Step 1
• Each box of MOVIPREP ® contains
two sealed plastic bags. Each contains
one sachet marked A and one sachet
marked B.
• Open one bag and remove
sachets A and B.
• Pour the contents of one sachet A and one sachet B into
a jug. Adding water (not chilled) make up to 1 litre and stir
until the powder is completely dissolved and the solution is
clear or slightly hazy. Add cordial to taste (not blackcurrant).
Step 2
• Drink one glassful (250ml) of
the MOVIPREP ® drink every
15–30 minutes until you have
drunk it all (taking about 1-2 hours).
Take your time – there is no need to rush.
• You should also drink an additional 500ml of water or
clear fluids with each litre of MOVIPREP ® taken.
When to take MOVIPREP ®
Unless your doctor or nurse tells you differently, start taking
MOVIPREP ® on the day before your examination.

your examination until after your hospital appointment.
• Take 2 litres of MOVIPREP ® the night before
your examination.
• To prepare 1 litre of MOVIPREP ® pour the contents
of one sachet A and one sachet B into a jug, adding
water (not chilled) to make up 1 litre.
• Drink an additional 500ml of water or clear fluids with
each litre of MOVIPREP ® taken.
• If you take any oral medicine, do not take it an hour
either side of drinking your dose of MOVIPREP ® .
