Nulytely Lemon-Lime
Nulytely Lemon-Lime is an osmotic laxative solution used for bowel cleansing prior to medical procedures, such as colonoscopy or barium enema X-rays. It contains a combination of polyethylene glycol 3350 (PEG 3350), sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride. The solution works by increasing water retention in the bowel, which softens stools and induces bowel movements, effectively clearing the colon. The lemon-lime flavor makes it more palatable for patients who need to take large volumes of the solution before procedures.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Nulytely Lemon-Lime Work?
Nulytely works by retaining water in the intestines due to the action of polyethylene glycol (PEG 3350). The high-water content softens the stool and stimulates the bowels, leading to frequent and complete evacuation of the contents of the colon. The electrolytes (sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride) are added to the solution to help prevent electrolyte imbalances during the bowel cleansing process.
Common Dosages
- Powder for solution: Each container is reconstituted with 4 liters of water.
Typical Dosing
- Reconstitute the powder with 4 liters of water and chill the solution for better taste.
- Adults typically drink 240 mL (8 oz) of the solution every 10 to 15 minutes until approximately 4 liters are consumed, or until bowel movements are clear.
- The dosing schedule may be split into evening and morning doses or taken all at once, depending on healthcare provider instructions.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Bowel cleansing prior to colonoscopy, barium enema X-rays, or other procedures requiring a clear view of the colon.
Who Shouldn't Take Nulytely Lemon-Lime?
- Bowel obstruction
- Known hypersensitivity to polyethylene glycol or any other components of the formulation
- Toxic colitis or megacolon
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Chill the solution to improve its taste and reduce any nausea or discomfort during consumption.
- Avoid solid foods at least 3-4 hours before starting Nulytely. A clear liquid diet (such as broth, tea, or clear juice) is typically recommended the day before your procedure.
- Stay close to a bathroom after starting Nulytely, as the bowel movements will become frequent and watery.
- Do not consume red or purple liquids, as they may interfere with the visibility of the colon during your procedure.
- Inform your healthcare provider if you experience signs of dehydration, such as dizziness or dry mouth.
