COLOPREP KIT ORANGE 2X177ML

About

COLOPREP KIT ORANGE is a bowel preparation kit containing osmotic laxatives, typically polyethylene glycol (PEG) and electrolytes, designed to thoroughly cleanse the colon. This preparation is crucial for ensuring a clear view of the intestinal lining during diagnostic procedures. It works by drawing water into the bowel, softening stool, and stimulating bowel movements, effectively flushing out fecal matter. The kit is formulated to be palatable, with an orange flavor, to improve patient compliance during the often challenging preparation process. Its primary goal is to facilitate accurate diagnosis and successful outcomes for endoscopic or surgical interventions by providing a clean colon.
