| 4 | Colonoscopy | No side effects to speak of. The taste is like (insert your personal aweful tasting thing here). But once you get beyond the taste it definitely does the trick and considering its basically just electrolytes (various salts) you wont have issues with that if you drink the required water. Could probably be best served super chilled. I chose neat with no garnish, no chaser. | M | 54 | 1 days 6oz 2X day | 9/15/2023 | 5 | Colonoscopy | I was nervous after reading the horrible reviews. The was my first experience with colonoscopy prep for routine surveillance. I will say that I'm very healthy and had no serious adverse effects. The taste was horrible, as many have described. I did take the preventative zofran to help with nausea and did fine. The 1:30am dose was a little harder to drink, but got it down in 45min. All in all it was a success, and the test was performed without issue. | I mixed first dose with Gatorade which made it saltier. I think chilling it and adding water made it (slightly) more palatable. It really was just mind over matter to get it all down. The whole experience was not pleasant, but tolerable. | F | 46 | 1 days Split dose 2X day | 7/18/2023 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Horrible stuff. Followed all directions as to diet and prep, and report states "suboptimal"ť prep. So, somehow this expensive and barbaric prep failure is all my fault. Supposed to do it again in a year. Wouldn't do it again if you held a gun to my head. | F | 66 | 1 days 2X day | 2/10/2023 | 2 | Colonoscopy prep | I completely followed the instructions! My doctor was not able to get a complete reading on the colonoscopy as I was not totally cleaned out! What a disappointment. Will never use it again. | F | 70 | 1 days 2X day | 9/12/2022 | 2 | For colonoscopy | .nauseated, chills and vomiting. | Taste was so terrible. Kept gagging while drinking it. Took a long time for bowel movement. Was not cleaned out enough. Failed colonoscopy. | F | 60 | 0 days 30mh 2X day | 7/28/2022 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Second time taking suprep. Took me hours to drink it. I was sweating one minute freezing the next. Gagging with every sip. Was still having loose stools 11 hrs later. | I will never take this again. I've taken miralax with Gatorade with ducolax tabs. Much better to tolerate. | F | 64 | 2 days 1X day | 6/14/2022 | 1 | Colonoscopy prep | I couldn't choke this down. It was horrible. After two mouthfuls I was gagging. I had to cancel my test. | I did colon prep 10+ years ago and although it tasted foul, nothing was as bad as this stuff. Come on, after all this time, the drug manufacturers can't come up with anything better. Shame on them. | F | 65 | 2 days 2 dose kit 1X day | 4/26/2022 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Nausea, Severe Chills, Vomiting | I have debated whether or not to write a review regarding Suprep but feel compelled to since my experience was quite bad. This was my third colonoscopy, having prepped before with Golytely both times. Accordingly I knew what to expect ... or so I thought. Golytely was not a great experience so I was hopeful that this new, low volume Suprep would be better. Wrong. Much worse. I had over 12 hours of severe nausea, over 12 hours of unbelievably intense tooth chipping quality chills, repetitive vomiting and emotional panic that I was going to have to go to the ER rather than to my colonoscopy. I had to call my GI doctor at 3 am for help and guidance. My colonoscopy was almost aborted. I was only able to keep the second Suprep dose, taken at 4 am, down long enough to finally start having clear bowel movements. Immediately after seeing that I was “in the clear” I let myself throw up the rest of the Suprep, which I did, over and over and over again. Three days later I am still having problems with diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain. Suprep is wicked stuff. It worked for me and I had a clear high quality colonoscopy, but it also damn near killed me. Suprep is very harsh and, in my opinion, dangerous. Use something else if you can. | M | 54 | 1 days 1X day | 4/24/2022 | 4 | Was constipated to my throat, basically | The first time I had this was for a colonoscopy and I had the flu-like chills and body aches. It eliminates my bowels quickly and thoroughly but the *taste*!! Disgusting!! The second time I had severe constipation up high, so doc and I decided to end it all- LOL. Terrible!! Day three and I STILL have bubble gut and sporadic dumps! | I mixed this with chilled, almost frozen Powerade Zero orange. Take a chug of mixture, DO NOT BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE and chug some of the remaining plain Powerade- then breathe. ALMOST tolerable this way. | F | 56 | 2 days 2 bottles 1X day | 3/20/2022 | 3 | Colonoscopy | Nausea and vomiting. | Tasted awful. Did step one, following all instructions from my doctor, mixing with water (I did add ice), then following up with 32 ounces of water within the hour. Felt not great after, but nothing terrible. An hour later, bowel movements started with watery discharge. That lasted about an hour. Step 2 began at 1:30 am. Could barely get dose 2 and the water down. It somehow tasted worse than it did 7 hours earlier. An hour after I started, I completed all Suprep and water drinking. Five minutes later, vomited violently for 5 or 10 minutes. 45 minutes later, bowel movements started and lasted about 30-40 minutes, Woke up at 5 to go to the procedure, had to move bowels a few more times after waking up, before the procedure, with results progressively getting cleaner. Ultimately worked out, but the taste was awful. Was afraid to move off strict instructions, but will try mixing it with something other than water next time, if I have to use this again. Did the job, but was not pleasant. | M | 48 | 1 days 2X day | 1/26/2022 | 1 | Colonoscopy prep | I was surprised that the taste was not as bad as I had expected. I drank almost all of the first bottle of prep mixed with water as directed. Less than 20 minutes I threw up 5-6 times in the kitchen sink. This is my 4th colonoscopy and I've never thrown up before using other preps. | Called my Dr.'s office after hours and spoke to a on call Dr. Who told me to try miralax. Husband went to store to buy some and I mixed 1 capful per 8 Oz. of Gatorade, and drank 4 cups in a little over an hour. 3 hours later and so far so good. I haven't felt nauseous and have made several trips to the bathroom. Dr. Instructed me to try the second bottle of superprep tomorrow when my second dose is due. This time to drink it slowly, as I think I drank the first dose too fast. Will give it a go again tomorrow but am definitely not looking forward to it! I just hope that in the end I am cleaned out enough for the colonoscopy. My Father had colon cancer and I have had several polyps removed in past colonoscopies. It's been 5 years since my last one and I just want to get a good report. | F | 66 | 1 days 1X day | 1/2/2022 | 5 | Colonoscopy | After reading some of the reviews online about this product I was pretty petrified to use it. However, I did not experience any of the horrid side effects that I read about. Did it taste good? No. Was it unbearable? No. I refrigerated it overnight and mixed it with white grape juice. I drank it slowly over about an hour and chased each sip with hot ginger tea. It started working before I finished drinking the first dose. I spent a good amount of time in the bathroom but was able to sleep for about five hours before the second dose. I followed the same procedure for that second dose and before I finished drinking I was going practically clear water so I admit I did not drink all of the second dose. I had no cramping or nausea and I had completely stopped going by the time I had to leave for the appointment. Overall, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. | Several people I know have used this prep with no issues. | F | 55 | 0 days 1X day | 12/29/2021 | 4 | Colonoscopy Prep | Prepping for a colonoscopy is never fun. None of the preps are pleasant but Suprep was certainly tolerable and effective. Mix it with cold water and just guzzle it down. I would alternate between a few gulps of the suprep followed by a few gulps of pure water to rinse my mouth. It was fine. No cramping or anything like that. Starting working its magic in 45 minutes. For the most part, was done with the bathroom in about 2.5 hours. The morning dose was tougher because of the taste but again, not terrible. | When reading reviews, remember most people will come on to talk about awful experiences. Rarely do people come to these sites to report how wonderful a product was. Bottom line, don't get too worked up over it. Just swallow it with some extra water and relax. | M | 58 | 1 days 1 bottle 2X day | 12/15/2021 | 1 | colonoscopy | Followed directions exactly and drank massive amounts of water. No problem gulping it down and absolutely no nausea or pain, but...within minutes of first dose, had a complete intestinal voiding with no warning or sensation at all...quite a mess. Next three hours, stayed on toilet and expelled uncontrollably. Second dose produced the same results; never left the toilet for about seven hours in total. Around 3:00 AM all discharge was perfectly clear and stopped shortly thereafter. | Colonoscopy was performed and result (per doctor report) was "inadequate preparation" and "poor preparation" - both comments highlighted in bold on his report...a total failure that seems to have been my fault! (not) Bottom line is I was tortured, blamed for the problem and wasted my time and money. The new plan is to take the same garbage over a longer period. Needless to say, I wont do it! | M | 70 | 1 days 6 oz 2X day | 9/3/2021 | 5 | Colonoscopy | My mom and husband both took Suprep for their colonoscopies and both had a great experience so I can only speak for myself. I took the first bottle at 8:10 pm. Abouy half an hour later, right before drinking the first glass of water I started feeling mild discomfort in my abdomen. About 20 minutes later I took the 2nd glass of water. About 10 minutes later I started having these HORRIBLE cramps. I started burping so much, too. The pain felt like it was going upward towards my chest cavity. It is now 10:14. Cramps every 15-20 seconds, no urge to “go” at all. Will I recommend this? NO. Not even sure if I want to take second bottle tomorrow morning. We are in the middle of our Summer here in SoCal and I have chills and I am very cold. My back is tingly, I feel weak. I have never had so much pain in my life. Cramps are EXCRUCIATING. On a level of 1-10 these are a 20! Please consult with your doctor before taking this prep. It is too aggresive on some people. | I would NEVER take it again! Worst medical experience of my life! | F | 49 | 0 days 1X day | 8/17/2021 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Absolutely the worst tasting I have EVER been prescribed | F | 50 | 1 days 2 2X day | 5/26/2021 | 1 | Colonoscopy | If you stuffed a cadaver in a barrel to rot and covered it with cherry syrup you'd have SuPrep. This is the worst tasting thing I have ever experienced. Fasted liquid diet previous day to prepare, Read entire brochure, followed instructions, became nauseated immediately, forced it down gagging. Flu like symptoms started almost immediately Headache and wracking chills with shaking followed which remained all night. Started at 6 pm, first prep ended at 11 pm. Explosive diarrhea nonstop . Became very dehydrated. Researched online from bathroom for helps and put 2 Nd dose in frig and water tooGot up at 3:30 to drink water, felt real fear I wouldn't be able to get the next dose down. It's godawful no excuse for this- bit lemons and drank thru a straw which helped slightly. By now crazy chills, sweating, so cold .massive purges began quickly after 2 Nd dose and continued for 4 hours. So weak near collapse. Finally stopped at 8 am, Absolutely horrible product . Side effects are awful. Taking something that causes horrible nausea is a terrible way to do this. Still nauseous later that day and that night. Still not able to ear 24 hours later. Never again. SuPrep packaging Does not adequately address the negative side effects of this horrible tasting product It's foul. Presenting it as palatable under any circumstances is a lie. Very concerned that so many people had a similar bad experience. | SuPrep must address the taste issue which causes the horrible nausea . A colonoscopy is an important test and the process is tough enough, beginning it in a horrible way that is so bad that it creates real fear that the patient will throw up or not b able to stomach the 2 Nd dose and fail in the process is a terrible way to do this. We have to do better, or too many people will not be able to do this or refuse to ever repeat it. Fix it | F | 58 | 1 days 30 2X day | 4/23/2021 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Extreme Nausea and Chills. Vomiting. Shaking. | Chills, shaking, and bad nausea for the day before prep. Choked down any vomiting. Morning prep I could not hold back the vomit. Could not finish the water chaser. 3rd colonoscopy. First time with Suprep. Worst prep yet. | F | 63 | 1X day | 4/14/2021 | 1 | For a colonoscopy | Nausea, gagging, needed to spit after each sip as if I'd drunk ocean water. | I had difficulty getting the first dose down, using a drinking straw and all of the other ideas that were recommended. The second dose, I could only get through a fourth of what was required because I gagged with each sip. I had to stand by the kitchen sink just in case. I did get through the colonoscopy but I felt dizzy and tired for days afterward. I ended up blacking out and fainting a few days after my procedure, hit a hard tile floor, and ended up in the ER with severe dehydration,needing IV fluids, a CT scan, and x-rays of my bones. Two weeks later I'm still bruised. I'm 5'3", 119 lbs., and feel that the amount I was asked to drink was too much for my size. I also have low blood pressure. This was my 4th colonoscopy and I had never fainted before in my life. I never want to take this again. | F | 63 | 1 days 2X day | 4/11/2021 | 5 | Colonoscopy prep | I was prescribed Suprep in preparation for a colonoscopy. I was dreading it after reading lots of reviews. I prepared the 1st dose around 5 PM. I just used a straw and took 5-6 big gulps every 5 minutes until it was finished. I had chilled the bottles for several hours beforehand and I also held my nose while drinking it. Started having watery BMW's about 45 minutes later. I just sat on the toilet, drank my other 32 oz of water, and every few minutes it felt like I was peeing from my bum. That lasted about an hour and a half. I was then able to lie down and sleep until my alarm awoke me around 4:30 am to repeat the whole process. By the time my ride was here at 8 am, the water from my bum was clear and the urgency was over. Worked great, no nausea. My GI doctor said my prep was great too, completely cleaned out. I'd rather do this again in the future instead of that huge gallon of salty water. Neither prep is fun, but I think the Suprep is easier overall. | I'd recommend it if you gotta do it! | F | 55 | 1 days 16 oz 2X day | 3/19/2021 |
