User Reviews for Clenpiq oral

The Cleniq was so difficult to swallow. It was effective; however, the taste was horrible. It took me 3 hours to drink the first bottle. I’m dreading drinking the 2nd bottle. There’s got to be a better way.

I'm a 79 year old woman and single......I almost couldn't open the containers! I struggled with pliers and even that didn't work! FINALLY pried them off by cutting the top....Took way too long for me to use the prep!

Worst product out there and most expensive. It did nothing for me!!!!

The bottles are an absolute nightmare to open. The company really needs to address this. Someone is going to hurt themselves trying to get them opened. I had to pry one of mine open with a knife. Unusually difficult to open and I am a 6'0 215 pound man with biceps. I think the prep works well overall, just fix the bottles. It is ridicilous how hard they are to open!

I’m more into natural healthcare not pharma drugs being a cancer survivor at a young age of 30 obliterated by chemo and radiation, I spent the last 24 years transforming into a healthy lifestyle. Juicing, clean meats, far-infrared, Epsom salt baths, organic etc. I cleaned up! HOWEVER I had my colonoscopy for the first time a week ago doctor prescribed clenpiq, I told him I wanted the most natural bowel cleaning he said clenpiq was safe. I honestly feel like I’m having to detox all over again from harsh chemo drugs. My cramps are awful still after one week. My stomach is bloated, I’m miserable, I’m gassy, I keep having to go to the bathroom only farting and eliminating tiny runny poops. I’ve went into full self care mode with detox baths, juicing, nutrient dense teas, sun, body brushing, yoga, grounding yearning for relief. My stomach has not turned the corner yet. I will NEVER take this again. I am suspicious that the doctor probably gets kickbacks from clenpiq prescriptions. Read More Read Less

Clenpiq was prescribed for my second colonoscopy. I followed the instructions and took the two doses at the scheduled times. The first dose kicked in about 20 minutes after taking it. I drank about 54 ounces of water over the next 5 hours. My stools were clear yellow water by then, which was unlike my experience from 10 years prior. Back then I drank a bad tasting kool-aid mixture that ended in clear water stools. Also, this time around I experienced a burning sensation in the anus. There was no burning 10 years ago with the other product. When I took the second dose of Clenpiq the next morning, I followed it up with 68 ounces of water over the next three hours. My stools were still clear yellow liquid, but medical staff assured me this was normal. Had my colonoscopy and all went well; no polyps were discovered. Came home and had my first solid meal in two days. Slept two hours and then rushed to the bathroom to dump everything as sludge. The burning had gotten more intense. Soothed it a bit with warm compresses. Ate fruit and vegetables for the remainder of the day and had more runny sludge in the middle of the night with more intense burning. Waking up the next day this experience still continues. I’m beginning to think two doses of Clenpiq was overkill as I’m still experiencing painful laxative effects a day after surgery. 10 years ago I was able to eat immediately after surgery without any of this. Hoping my stools solidify and the burning stops soon.Read More Read Less

This medication poorly prepared me for a colonoscopy procedure. I took this as directed and I had to be administered an enema to further prepare me.

The bottles are impossible to open. I had to go next door to find a strong man to open them abd even he had trouble. It took him some time to get them open and he was about to cut the tops off to get to the liquid.

I have had three prior colonoscopies and never had trouble with the preparation. With Clenpic I found it harsher than other preps throughout the night. In the morning I had nausea, bloating, and a very acidic stomach. When I was sedated to begin the colonoscopy the acid in my stomach rose in my throat and caused severe coughing. The doctor had to cancel the procedure as unsafe (with the coughing) and was concerned that I may have aspirated. In reviewing the experience the medical staff concluded that the prep was the cause of the problems. It was agreed that when I reschedule I will not use Clenpiq.Read More Read Less

This was my first time getting a colonoscopy and I was so nervous about the prep. The doctor prescribed Clenpiq and I had no idea what to expect. When I picked it up at the pharmacy it was free. I was happy about that. I took as directed and it was so easy. I didn’t have any bad cramping or anything. It emptied me out as it was suppose to without the urgency of having to go. I would recommend this to anyone. Very easy.

After reading some of the reviews, I was quite nervous to take Clenpiq. Turns out I had nothing to be worried about. The taste was absolutely nothing to be concerned with. I drank both bottles straight down. Tasted just fine. I experienced no nausea, vomiting, cold sweats or headaches. Even though I was instructed to start the process later in the day for the first douse and then 4 hours before my procedure time (9:00 A.M), I took my first douse at 3:00 P.M. and then my second at 9:00 P.M. I hydrated with Gatorade and chicken broth throughout my prep day both before and during the process. Took about an hour for things to start moving after the first bottle and then about every 15 minutes for the next couple of hours. The second bottle went the same as the first. Never experienced any cramping or uncomfortable bloating. While I stayed close to the bathroom, I never had any really uncontrollable urges. The medication did a reasonably gentle but thorough job a clearing my bowels and the colonoscopy was a breeze.Read More Read Less

Easy to take, tolerable taste. Unfortunately it did not clean me out entirely before my colonoscopy. The second bottle kicked in after my procedure. It didn’t work for me and I would not take it again personally.

HORRIBLE. The cramping, the nonstop use of commode (AFTER the colonoscopy). It’s taking forever to STOP. It tastes SICKENLY sweet with a nasty aftertaste. AVOID. Do the Miralax.

Being on a liquid diet the day before, I began getting peripheral neuropathy in the hands and feet, and apparently the Clenpiq flushed out my gut flora so totally, 5 weeks later, I am still having horrible numbness and pain in my hands and feet as well as entire body. I am a esophageal cancer survivor, and no one was aware this would be such a horrible side effect. Pro and prebiotics are helping very little and now I am allergic to all kinds of citrus. If you have to do a prep,,anything but Clenpiq is my recommendation.Read More Read Less

This was horrible. I took the first bottle with within 20 minutes was experiencing cold sweats, nausea and diarrhea. I peed my poop every 15 minutes for 4 hours and had cold sweats each time. My rectum was on fire and burned like hell every time I had to go. The second bottle was even worse. I hope to never, ever use this prep again.

Awful experience with this solution. After first bottle, my stomach felt bloated and excruciating pain followed by nausea, cold sweat and vomiting. Had to cancel the procedure. 2 days later still trying to recover. Also expensive! Will definitely let my family/friends know not to ever take this solution.

As a high risk colon cancer patient, I need a prep that leaves my bowel clear. For my 13 & 14th procedures, I used Clenpiq and "the bowel preparation was excellent," per my MD. She removed 4 difficult to see sessile polyps associated with advancing to colon cancer. The prep does what I depend on, & I follow all instructions to the letter.

I started with the first bottle at 1 o'clock P.M. and took it while holding my nose, then swishing water in my mouth and then drinking a little apple juice. That works. However, nothing happened until 4:30 in the afternoon. I drank the 8 oz. every hour and then at 6:00, took the second bottle. I do not ever take these things late like they say or in the morning. It works just as well to take two doses in one day and you are done by 9 or 10 at night. I don't want to be up all night and have never had a problem doing it that way and it has always worked. I have no idea why they want you to take it in the morning. I have had four other colonoscopies and never had too much of a problem with the prep but this one, I did not like. I have had a different prep every time. I have never had to drink 9 glasses of water with a prep of any kind and it is way too much. I felt like I was going to drown, even though I sipped it over the hour. I could not taste it because I held my nose but this entire thing takes way too long. It has been 10 hours and I am still having to use the bathroom. It seems to work fairly well, but the whole procedure is too long and too laborious with all that water. I felt slight nausea the whole time. I would not use this again. Read More Read Less

Due to colon cancer I'm faced with having a colonoscopy every year to 2 years. I have always dreaded drinking all of that awful tasting solution. It made me nauseated and I would gag the entire time trying to get it all down. This was the first time I used Clenpiq. The small dosage was much easier to manage. I found it be gentle on my intestines, it didn't taste too bad going down but the aftertaste got to me a bit. However, on the second dosage, I discovered swishing Ginger Ale in my mouth took the aftertaste away. Using Clenpiq was by far a much better experience!Read More Read Less

This Clenpiq is by far the best prep for colonoscopy. No cramps. No nausea, the taste is no so great but with a white grape chaser it's doable. The other stuff called Suprep ought to be outlaw because of the taste and quantity that you have to drink.
