The PREPOPIK Dosing Guide makes it easy. It will schedule your doses of PREPOPIK, send you reminders and track the doses you’ve taken. With this step-by-step guidance, you will also have the ability to tap cups as they are completed. It also has an instructional video in English and Spanish so you can understand all the steps of the PREPOPIK process before starting.

Before a colonoscopy, it’s important to follow the instructions and to finish the entire bowel prep so your doctor can see your colon clearly. If you dont finish, your colon may not be cleansed completely.

Take the guesswork out of using PREPOPIK to prep for your colonoscopy!

Indication and Important Safety Information

Prepopik is a prescription medicine used by adults to clean the colon before a colonoscopy. Prepopik cleans your colon by causing you to have diarrhea. Cleaning your colon helps your healthcare provider see the inside of your colon more clearly during your colonoscopy.

• Do not take Prepopik if your healthcare provider has told you that you have serious kidney problems, a blockage in your intestine (bowel obstruction), an opening in the wall of your stomach or intestines (bowel perforation), a very dilated intestine (toxic megacolon), problems with the emptying of food and fluid from your stomach (gastric retention), or an allergy to any of the ingredients in Prepopik

• Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of a loss of too much body fluid (dehydration) while taking Prepopik: vomiting that prevents you from keeping down the additional prescribed amounts of clear liquids that you must drink after taking Prepopik, dizziness, urinating less often than normal, or headache

• Prepopik and other bowel preparations can cause serious side effects, including serious loss of body fluid (dehydration) and changes in blood salts (electrolytes) in your blood. These changes can cause abnormal heartbeats that can cause death, seizures (this can happen even if you have never had a seizure), or kidney problems. Your chance of having fluid loss and changes in blood salts with Prepopik is higher if you have heart problems, have kidney problems, or take water pills or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). The most common side effects of Prepopik include nausea, headache, and vomiting
