MoviPrep Dosage

Important Preparation and Administration Instructions

•

Correct fluid and electrolyte abnormalities before treatment with MoviPrep [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

•

Two doses of MoviPrep are required for a complete preparation for colonoscopy. The time interval between the two doses depends on the regimen prescribed and the planned timing of the colonoscopy procedure. [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.3)].

•

The “Split-Dose” is the preferred method and consists of two separate doses: the first dose is taken the evening before the colonoscopy, and the second dose is taken the next day, the morning of the day of the colonoscopy [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

•

The “Evening Only” is the alternative method and consists of two separate doses: both doses are taken in the evening before the day of the colonoscopy, with a minimum of 1.5 hours between the start of the first dose and the start of the second dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

•

Both MoviPrep dosing regimens require administration of MoviPrep using the mixing container provided to reconstitute the contents of Pouch A and B with water to the Fill Line. Do not reconstitute with other liquids and/or add starch-based thickeners to the mixing container [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].

•

Additional clear liquids (including water) must be consumed in both dosing regimens [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

•

Consume only clear liquids (no solid food) from the start of MoviPrep treatment until after the colonoscopy.

•

Do not eat or drink alcohol, milk, anything colored red or purple or any other foods containing pulp material.

•

Do not take other laxatives while taking MoviPrep [see Drug Interactions (7.3)].

•

Do not take oral medications within 1 hour before or after starting each dose of MoviPrep [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].

•

Ensure completion of Dose 2, including all additional liquids, at least 2 hours before the colonoscopy.

•

Storage: After reconstitution, store MoviPrep solution in an upright position and keep refrigerated. Use within 24 hours after it is mixed in water.

Two-Day Split-Dosing Regimen (Preferred Method)

The Two-Day Split-Dosing regimen is the preferred dosing method.

Instruct adult patients that on the day before the clinical procedure, they can consume breakfast, followed by a light lunch (no solid foods), and clear soup and/or plain yogurt for dinner, which must be completed at least 1 hour prior to the start of the first MoviPrep dose.

Instruct adult patients to take two separate doses in conjunction with fluids as follows:

Dose 1 – In the evening before the colonoscopy, approximately 10 to 12 hours before Dose 2:

3.

Thoroughly mix with a spoon or shake with lid on securely until the contents of Pouch A and B are completely dissolved.
