Fresenius Kabi Glycoprep-O Kit

GLYCOPREP-O KIT 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 colorectal surgery. GLYCOPREP-O KIT components are GLYCOPREP ORANGE sachet, magnesium citrate sachet and bisacodyl tablets. GLYCOPREP ORANGE 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. Magnesium citrate also works by causing excess water to remain in your stool and stimulates bowel movements.
