Here's A Cheap Alternative To Suprep

I see lots of people here who need a cheaper alternative to Suprep. The Mayo Clinic recommends 8 Bisacodyl(Ducolax) tablets and 2 bottles of Magnesium Citrate split over 2 doses. This is just as good as Suprep and produces the same result. Many other clinics have similar recommendations. Do an internet search for "Ducolax and Magnesium Citrate bowel prep instructions". In my opinion, Suprep is just a convenience. The end result for either method is the same. You take laxatives and drink clear fluids until nothing comes out but clear fluids. It's not rocket science.

Thank you for providing this information, William! I am sure that it will help many.

But, before anyone follows these instructions, please check with your doctor and make sure that it is safe for you to do so.

Both the Magnesium Citrate and the Bisacodyl could react badly with some medications and medical conditions.

Are there any questions or concerns?
