I was terrified about prepping my bowel for my first colonoscopy. I have a phobia about feeling nausea and of vomiting. I also have a hard time drinking unpleasant things. I have to say that all of my anxiety was blown way out of proportion. The amount of medication that needed to be consumed was quite small and very manageable. The liquid is thin and clear and the taste was not bad - it remi...

In my opinion, this product should be taken off the market. I followed all protocol and steps exactly as stated in the instructions, but developed a SEVERE migraine, dizziness, vomiting, and cold sweats. I literally felt like I had been poisoned. I also had no bowel movement for over six hours, and by the time everything started, it was 2:00 am, which resulted in me being violently sick and running to the bathroom all night. At the outpatient center the next morning, I had to be administered IV anti-nausea meds and IV tylenol. And to make everything even worse, Clenpiq didn't empty me completely, so I will need to schedule another procedure, which I am now terrified to do because I had such a horrible experience with the prep. No doctor should be prescribing this for a colonoscopy. Heed my warning... Clenpiq is the stuff nightmares are made of. It tastes gross too.Read More Read Less

The solution was not effective for my recent colonoscopy. The solution was easy to consume and the steps were easy to follow, however the procedure was stopped due to incomplete emptying of the gastrointestinal tract.

The taste was horrible it took almost two hours to drink one bottle. This prep didn't work right away either. I knew I shouldn't have done the colonoscopy but I did and it had to be rescheduled because I was not cleaned out. That prep didn't work right away. The colyte is so much better.

I have to do a colonoscopy every 2 years, so I am very familiar with how to do the prep. I read the instructions, and was prepared to follow them. I drank both doses using a straw so I didn’t have to taste it. The first dose I took did absolutely nothing! No bowel movement at all after 4 hours. I looked online, and went ahead and took the second dose rather than waiting until morning. I had a couple of small bowel movements, but I knew from experience that the prep was not sufficient, and I saw the horror stories about procedures being cancelled due to insufficient prep! I ended up drinking epsom salts, and taking Dulcolax before going to bed. The following morning, I finally started having bowel movements and am now sufficiently clear in time for my procedure. If I had an early check-in time, I would not have been ready! Read More Read Less

Yes, it cleaned me out. Violently and horribly. They need to warn you it will be violent and horrifying and that you should wear an adult diaper. It was very difficult to tolerate. Yet it did what it was supposed to, but made me super unwell.

Follow the instructions from your doctor. I took ClenPiq and it worked for me. I took it at 5p the day before the procedure and then again at 6am. The top was a little harder to open. The prep was clear and tasted sweet. The second bottle tasted very sweet. It was harder to take down at 6am. A few days prior to your colonoscopy I drank 4 to 6 bottles of water. I decreased my food intake. Light meals which consisted of eggs, salmon, apple sauce and lots of water. Day of water, apple juice and green Jello. I drank water until 11:50p I had a bowel 10-12 times. ClenPiq started working for about an hour after I took it. Woke at 5:30am used the bathroom. 6am took second bottle followed by water. My bowels were yellowish. I used the bathroom right before we left and while waiting to get called but then it stopped. Doctor said he could see my colon with no problems. Will take again hopefully in 5 years.Read More Read Less

I was told that if you refrigerate Clenpiq it is still good, the manufacturer just doesn't want you to drink it cold. If you refrigerate it or drink it cold it is still ok to do the procedure. Just not recommended. I took mine out of the fridge as soon as I learned this.

There is not enough stress from having to prepare for a colonoscopy, but your company’s product only made it worse with the almost impossible bottles to open. I wish I had read these reviews before hand because I would have had someone open the bottles in advance. My husband FINALLY opened them, but not before he became totally frustrated and the palms of his hands were raw from trying so hard. RIDICULOUS. It took 15 minutes to open one bottle and 20 minutes to open the next one hours later. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE????? I will make sure my physician knows I will NEVER use this product again and will warn anyone who can hear my voice - STEER CLEAR of it. With all the money your company makes, you can’t come up with an easier way to open the bottles???????????? Thank you for NOTHING but aggravation!! Yes, I am angry.Read More Read Less

Very easy to take. I was so scared and had gastritis during my prep and I did it successfully with this. I took zofran an hour before each prep and listened to all instructions with no vomiting or pain. I also drank tons of water before which I’m sure helped prevent severe nausea pr vomiting .

Broke each bottle into manageable parts to prevent all of the drama that I read about. Worked like a charm.

I was apprehensive about taking this prep for my colonoscopy after reading the reviews for Clenpiq but decided to go ahead to take this because of the two small bottles. On the day before taking Clenpiq I made sure that I started to be well hydrated drinking lemonade chicken broth beef broth or any other liquid preparing my body for the 5 pm prep to start and then took a small dose of Clenpiq followed by 8 oz glass of liquid and continued until finished the 1 st bottle every half hr. It started to work immediately about 10 minutes after taking the first dose with no belly pain just urgency to go. No nausea or vomiting occurred. Finished the first dose before the 3 hr window and it continued to work. Continued to drink 8 oz of liquid every hour and then took the 2nd bottle starting at 2 am and finished before the 5 am cutoff time with no liquid after 5 am as my procedure was scheduled for 8:15 am. Was happy no adverse reaction and tolerated the prep Clenpiq well. Was tired having to stay up to finish the 2nd bottle before the procedure and did nap a little in between 2nd dose. Was totally ready for the procedure.Read More Read Less

I drank the first bottle of clenpiq at 5pm and started feeling the effects almost 3 hours later. Second bottle I drank at 3am. It was a rough night and barely slept. I kept thinking there's got to be a better way!! Sooo glad it's over and I did get a good report on my colonoscopy. :)

It about did me in! By the time I got to my appointment, I had had diarrhea for 15 hours, my rectum was burning and bleeding, I had a stomachache and headache and had little sleep the night before. It was simply too harsh for me. I call this experience, "The Cleanse from Hell."

I have had several colonoscopies (9) and this prep is the worst. I ate a low residue diet for three days prior to taking the prep so that the side effects of bloating and cramping would be minimized, and with this prep that didn’t matter. I bloated, hurt, felt nauseous and eventually vomited- first time ever with a colon prep. I am hoping that my prep is adequate for my exam later today. I will never have this prep again. And it was hard to open the bottles.

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!

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!
