I took Movieprep for my colonoscopy prep. I'm a 51 yr old female RN. I was actually terrified to take it after reading all the horror stories about it, that is why I'm reviewing it so others that read this will realize its not that bad. It's not easy, but its doable. It's one evening, you can do it! Drinking is the worst part of the whole prep, as you've had liquids all day, and all you really...
This "drug" is garbage! From the first sip it gagged me while trying to drink it no matter what was added to it and when it came out the other end it burned my rectum so badly I was bleeding! Sure, its easy to use but it is what it does to you once it is inside you that is the real issue here! I've worked in medicine in a medical office for 24 years. I know how pharmaceutical reps sell their wares...
Awful taste, cost $30.00 at Costco, but it was prescribed for this colonoscopy. It is working but is awful!!!

$50.00 co-pay...never will I use it again...Last year I used the "green bottle" > Magnesium citrate and my results came out good...What a joke this MoviPrep is...just giving you a plastic bottle for(50.00) to show how much liquid to use..

This medication not only taste worse then any I have had before but it made me drastically sick. I am still sick after 3 days. I am nauseous, have pain in my stomach, feel dizzy and just bad all over. I would never, ever take this junk again.

I found this easiest to take by drinking it all down without taking a breath, I've had worse products, if it has to be done this product works just fine.

I was not prepared for how disgusting it is. I could hardly complete the second litre. Got clever suggestion to drink it as shots!.....and suck ice cubes to numb mouth.

I have to agree with the other review, it tastes awful and really is no more effective. A person I work with said her doctor just had her do clear liquids and Miralax next time I will try that but I hope there isn't a next time!

MD prescribed prior endoscopy and colonoscopy. Don't be a fool, this expensive medication works the same way as the "green bottle" laxative you buy over the counter for $3.00 I pay for the expensive staff thinking it will be nicer and better, but same thing: taste is awful and at the end you go to the bathroom till everything is out. Request your doctor to give you a cheaper option than moviprep.
