Has anyone tried Plenvu?

This morning my wife started to clean me out with plenvu.

I think I never had cleaned out so well before, it's super powerful, anyone tried?

I had to use Pleinvue in preparation for a colonoscopy.

It was in two parts / bags.

It worked quite well. I was sat on the toilet only an hour after I had the first sachet with a liter of water. And after the second and the next few liters of water, it just did not stop!

At least I got a compliment from the technician / specialist for how clean I was on the inside 😜

I had the exact same experience but would like to add that it was not pleasant at all. :S . Keeps you busy for hours. I remember feeling a bit sick and having circulation problems due to being soooo empty.

I have tried some different kinds of laxatives over the years, and plenvu is not something I would want to take for 'private' purposes.

Although... Epsom salt was even worse probably. 😁

In fact was a punishment 😢

A survey by the Colorectal Cancer Org showed that only 1% of screenings used Plenvu. Didn’t explain why it was one of least used read somewhere it was better for geriatric patients due to electrolytes

If my memory is correct I used it the last colonoscopy. The Dr. recommended it and it was the smallest amount of liquid to drink. It was two 12 oz drinks. The first one was about 6 pm and I was on the toilet until about 10 pm. The I had to do the second one at midnight, for a 6:00 a.m. report time. It tasted worst but was still drinkable. I don't remember when I finsihed that one but very little sleep that night.

I think it was better than the old one of Miralax in 64 oz of Gatoraid. Only having to drink two glasses of the stuff made it better. Still not something I want to do but it is the best of the preps that I have used in 5 colonoscopies.

I got it as a sample as the cost was going to be $160.

oh no @Mara90 😬 I hope you are recovering well! 😊

Yes I'm well now, but it clean me out completely, I haven't bowel movement since I took plenvu 3days ago 😭😭

Sounds very interesting.

Assuming it is by prescription only? What sort of cost are we talking about. I like doing a complete cleanse every so often.

Plenvu requires a prescription. Average cost is $159. Fluctuates a bit depending where you buy it
