1 Day Before Your Test, 8PM
- Drink 2 litres (half the bottle) of the Colyte® solution within 2 hours.
- Drink 1 glass, about 250 mL (8 ounces), every 15 minutes. Shake the bottle before pouring each glass of CoLyte®.
- You may find it easier if you drink the glass quickly.
- You will drink the last 2 litres tomorrow. Depending on the time you need to arrive for your test, you might have to get up early to do this. For example, if you were told to come at 10 am, start drinking the solution at 5 am.
- Make sure you are near a toilet once you start drinking the bowel prep solution. It can start working within 1 to 4 hours. You can expect to have diarrhea or watery stools.
