Should my stomach continue to make gargle noises? And can tog still after the five hours. I think my stomach is looking for something else to push through

It varies depending on your medical plan.You need to check with your Pharmacist.
There are also coupons on the Prepopik website.

Medicare would not cover and the Co pay with my B CBS was 107. But my pharmacy Lake Wylie Pharmacy sells it for 94. And it is well worth it!

I didn't mind paying the $100 either because Ive had the other stuff and lower volume to me was soooooooo much better. I drank s lot of water day of though too. :)

I was given a coupon by my Dr. Office, when I went to pick up the prescription, Riteaid told me I didn't even need the coupon because there was no co-pay with my insurance, Sure do hope it tastes like orange soda, I have to start in less than 3 hours

You have to drink five 8oz glasses of liquid after the first dose and three after the second dose.

I am starting my prep this Monday. Very nervous. I gag on all of them and usually cannot do all the murilax prep always worry I won't be cleaned out but so far I usually am. Wish me luck with this. I plan on having dulcolax pills and murilax on hand in case of emergency.

Never heard of that happening. It should all have been almost clear liquid before you had procedure. Anything left the doctor sucks out and afterwards they are supposed to suck out the gas they blow in. Make sure you drink something with electrolytes like Gatorade to get yourself back in balance as I am sure you feel weak.

I paid $75. although google it and I believe there is a coupon. My gastroenterologist gave it to me the second time. It's so easy and quick.

Did you avoid all fiber for 4 days prior to the procedure? No fruit, vegetables, nuts, just carbs. Day before only clear liquids. When I said I had to go, it was mostly liquid.

I am a 50 year old man. About -210 lbs. I drank the first glass an hour ago. Nothing yet. This is my first time at the rodeo and I am a bit nervous. Have a big pitcher of decaf iced tea

Just waiting .....

I am going for another colon test. I do not remember the name of the last one, I drank. Yuck.. the picture shows a person drinking it, like someone would drink some cool tea. I looked up on the computer how to wash it down. Now, I am going to try Prepoik? Even it cost more, so what! I want to be comfortable. Only once, when I had to use go lightly, the stuff did not work until the morning. I was like where the hell did it go?

Do at the times they told you!!!! Continue to drink fluids too. It seems bad but it's a fast process. You'll be able to go to the bathroom. I didn't have the suddenly urgency. I made it every time. You have to be fluid free for a few hours prior to surgery so that's why the 2 am dose. Closer to procedure-better. Good luck

I have my colonoscopy in two days, so I start my prepopik tomorrow. This is a new GI and I worked for one so I know the dreaded Co-Lyte. My 2 choices were lemon or cranberry, I hate citrus drinks but I hate lemon more. This prep is new to me and I can tolerate 5 oz of nasty versus the gallon. What I really wanted to know was the estimated bathroom time which I read what some of you posted. My procedure is at 8 am and I really was hoping I wouldn't spend the night on the toilet. Good news I'm on clear liquids the entire day tomorrow. The bad part is I've been constipated which will add to my bathroom time. I just had a colonoscopy 7 months ago but the new GI wants to start from scratch so I get an EGD too! Thank you for your insight. I'll let you know what I think of the prep.
