It is powder which you must mix with water and drink. We will have sent you two clear sealed plastic bags containing the MOVIPREP with your appointment letter or given to you at an appointment. MOVIPREP will give you diarrhoea so you should stay close to a toilet once you have taken it.  \nWhat are the benefits of MOVIPREP?  \nTaking MOVIPREP will empty your bowel so that the lining can be examined properly during your colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.  \nWhat are the risks of taking MOVIPREP?  \nThe risk of taking MOVIPREP is that it can cause side effects such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, diarrhoea, bloating, abdominal (tummy) pain, sleep disturbance and anal irritation. Applying a barrier cream such as zinc and castor oil can help soreness on the bottom.  \nVomiting and diarrhoea can lead to fluid loss (dehydration) with dizziness, headache and confusion if you do not have enough fluid and salt to replace what has been lost.  \nIf you feel unwell while taking MOVIPREP, please contact your GP. If your symptoms are severe please go to A&E or call 999 in an emergency.  \nWhat are the risks of not taking MOVIPREP?  \nIf you do not take MOVIPREP correctly, your bowel will not be cleansed enough to ensure a safe and effective examination, which may mean we need to cancel your procedure.  \nAre there any alternatives to taking MOVIPREP?  \nThere are alternative types of laxative available but these have the same effect. MOVIPREP is the one we recommend. If you are concerned about taking MOVIPREP, you can contact the endoscopy unit.  \nPage 1  \nSandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust  \nMOVIPREP Laxative instructions  \n(morning appointment)  \nInformation and advice for patients preparing for a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy Endoscopy  \nBefore taking MOVIPREP  \nPlease let the doctors or nurses know about the medication that you are taking before you take MOVIPREP.  \nIf you take diabetic tablets or insulin and have not received a diabetic leaflet or you are on tablets that thin the blood such as warfarin, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, clopidogrel/Plavix, prasugrel, tricagrelor or apixaban, please contact the doctor who referred you before you take the MOVIPREP. If you take contraceptive pill, you should take another type of contraception for the week following taking the MOVIPREP.  \nFive days before the test  \nYou need to stop taking tablets containing iron.  \nThree days before the test  \nYou need to follow a low residue diet for at least three days before the test to help your bowel empty properly for the colonoscopy. A low residue diet is made up of foods that are easy to digest and avoids foods that are high in fibre.  \n\n| High Fibre foods to avoid | Low residue foods you can eat |\n| --- | --- |\n| • Bread – wholemeal, high bran, granary, | • White cereals such as cornflakes or rice |\n| high fibre or half wholegrain | based cereals |\n| • Wholemeal pittas, chapattis, crumpets, | • White rice and pasta |\n| scones and muffins | • Plain white biscuits such as rich tea, custard |\n| • Cereal bars, digestive biscuits, fruit cake, | creams, nice or malted milk |\n| fig rolls | • White bread, crumpets and scones |\n| • Wholemeal lasagne/pasta | (without dried fruit) |\n| • Brown rice | • Well cooked meat, fish, cheese or egg |\n| • High fibre or bran crisp breads and | • Stewed fruit |\n| crackers | • Potatoes without the skin |\n| • Wholemeal, wholegrain bran or high fibre |  |\n| cereals, porridge and muesli |  |\n| • Nuts |  |\n| • Fruit – fresh,","cbCairbTV6soitrx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairbTV6soitrx","pdf",180426,"English","# MOVIPREP laxative instructions\n## What is MOVIPREP and why it is used\n## Benefits and risks of taking MOVIPREP\n## Risks of not taking MOVIPREP\n## Alternatives to MOVIPREP\n## Before taking MOVIPREP\n## Five days before the test\n## Three days before the test\n## Low residue diet: foods to avoid and eat\n## The day before the test\n## Mixing and drinking MOVIPREP\n## When to stop and who to contact","[{\"question\":\"What is MOVIPREP and how does it work before a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy?\",\"answer\":\"MOVIPREP is a strong laxative taken before colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
