Additional instructions will also be provided during this call.  \nThe Joint Commission requires that a provider perform a \"History and Physical\"within 30 days prior to elective procedures.

To prevent skin irritation, apply diaper ointment (zinc oxide) to the skin around the anus before starting the prep. Soak in a warm bath after passing stool, softly pat skin dry with a cloth and reapply ointment as needed.  \nItems to Purchase over the Counter:  \n1. Four (4) Dulcolax Laxative tablets, 5 mg (generic name-bisacodyl)  \n2. TWO Miralax Bottle 238 gram size (generic name-polyethylene glycol)  \n3.
