OsmoPrep is a tablet colon prep. Not a liquid.

OsmoPrep Tablets are a simple, virtually tasteless way to prepare for your colonoscopy.

OsmoPrep Tablets are easy to take and are virtually tasteless. That's why more people who have taken OsmoPrep prefer it over other forms of colonoscopy preparation. In fact, 95% of those who took OsmoPrep would take it again for future colonoscopies.¹

OsmoPrep Tablets are the latest advancement in the evolution of colonoscopy prep. Because OsmoPrep is a tablet colon prep, not a liquid, the taste you experience is almost entirely from the clear liquid you take it with...not the prep.

In clinical trials, OsmoPrep demonstrated highly effective colon cleansing. This is the primary function of a colonoscopy prep and an important first step for a successful colonoscopy.² Clinical trials have also demonstrated that it is a well-tolerated medication.¹

If you and your healthcare provider decide that OsmoPrep Tablets make sense for you in preparation for your colonoscopy, please follow his or her directions. Your healthcare provider knows what's best for you and how to achieve the best results while taking any medication.
