Glycoprep Orange Bowel Preparation is used to remove the bowel contents and cleanse it prior to gastrointestinal examination (such as colonoscopy, barium enema x-ray examination), prior to intravenous pyelograms (IVP) or surgery.
Glycoprep Orange Bowel Preparation contains macrogol, which acts as a laxative in the intestine. Macrogol works by causing excess water to remain in your stool and stimulates bowel movements. This results in watery stool or bowel motions which removes the bowel contents and ensures the bowel is clean before the examination or procedure.
