| 1 | Colonoscopy prep | At the time I used this medicine I had a bleeding hemmorhoid (which my internist actually examined). In addition my situation was complicated by a peri-anal rash (which he completely ignored) that was eventually diagnosed as a fungus or parasitic infection and successfully treated by a dermatologist. The | M | 65 | 1 days | 4/2/2005 | 1 | colonoscopy prep | The nulyttely always has the same effect on me, although this time it was markedly worse. I get chills, severe chills, and the effects don't wear off. I end up wrapped in a blanket in the bathroom till morning. There has to be a better way. | M | 51 | | 3/6/2005 | 1 | colonoscopy prep | This has to be the most disgusting, vile tasting liquid I have ever tried to drink. The pharmacy gave me the lemon lime flavor and it was only palatable when I chased it with some gatoraide. If I tried to swallow it without something to mask the flavor I vomited. | Avoid at all costs! | F | 42 | 1 days | 2/28/2005 | 5 | Colonoscopy Prep | Mild chilling, mild stomach pain | Worked fast, first glass was easy to swallow, became difficult after that. Lemon Lime flavor. It tasted a bit like........sweat, or spit or something. Very nasty. | F | 31 | 1 days | 2/3/2005 | 4 | Colonoscopy Prep | Minor chills. Feeling full/bloated. | My pharmacist also recommended lemon/lime flavor. Refrigerated for eight hours. I drank each 8oz glass as quickly as possible. Tasted like watered down lemon/lime Gatorade with a licorice aftertaste. Not nearly as bad as I expected. | M | 50 | 1 times | 1/7/2005 | 4 | colonoscopy prep | My pharmacist suggested that the lemon/lime flavor was the most tolerable of the choices. It did not taste good, but it also did not taste that bad. I did not have any problems with nausea or vomiting, or cramping. I followed the instructions, stayed in the bathroom a little over three hours, and was done. It was less of a nightmare than some of the postings here were leading me to believe. | F | 50 | 1 days | 10/4/2004 | 1 | colonoscopy prep | nausea, abdominal cramping, chills | this stuff is absolutely vile. i couldn't even finish the prep, it was so disgusting. yes, it's effective. but it's not worth it. if i ever have to have another colonoscopy i will insist upon a different prep. the cherry flavor didn't do anything to mask how nasty this is. by the time i was 3/4 finished with the gallon of this horrible stuff, i was in tears and shaking. bad bad bad. | F | 46 | 3 times | 9/12/2004 | 1 | cleansing-pre colonscopy | I have spontaneous bleeding of bladder as a reseult of radiation treatment for prostate cancer. This condition is worsened by such things as aspirin (which I no Longer Take). Twelve hours after completing cleansing procedure I had a great deal of spontanous bleedilng of bladder. More than ever experienced before. this continued to a lesser degree off and on for a week. I believe, without a doubt, that one or more of the ingredientsaffected my bladder condition. | I will take another colonscopy only if the doctor agrees to use another cleansing agent. I know some doctors use other products such as Fleet. | M | 78 | 1 days | 6/21/2004 | 4 | COLONOSCOPY | Tonight is the night that I taken nulytely. I agree that it is horrible tasting.Also though I do feel like it did clean my colon out good enought o where the doctor will see what is causing my problems.So far I am ok with this medicine.Lets hope it helps see the problem. | F | 42 | 1 days | 4/6/2004 | 1 | pre-colonoscopy | Extreme nausea, vomitting halfway through, cramping, exhausting diarrhea | I will NEVER use this product again and agree with the other rating here: each Gastro who prescribes this should take it once a year or recommend another drug | F | 49 | 1 days | 1/23/2004 | 1 | Cleansing prep for colonoscopy | Gagging from the horrible taste, extreme nausea with second small glass, vomiting less than 1/2 way thru. The cherry flavor made things worse, there is nothing much worse than vomiting sweet!!!! The sheer volume of liquid you have to take in such a short period of time adds to the cause of nausea and vomiting. There is NO WAY I could be induced to take this stuff or related GoLytely product again. It took awhile to get THAT thru my gastro's head so I found information on other preps online and gave my gastro the choice, no scope or we try another product for the prep! I eventually won and have used lemon-ginger flavored or unflavored PhosphoSoda or lemon flavored Magnesium Citrate for every scope since that first. | Every gastro who scripts this prep should have to drink the entire solution once a year as a reminder and an incentive to find other alternatives. There's no pleasant way to cleanse the bowel for a scope but there are better ways than these PEG solutions. | F | 61 | 1 times | 11/30/2003 |
