Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Plenvu Work?
Plenvu works by osmotically drawing water into the intestines, resulting in increased intestinal fluid, which promotes bowel movements. The electrolytes in the formulation help maintain electrolyte balance while inducing diarrhea, which is necessary for effective bowel cleansing before a colonoscopy.
Common Dosages
- Powder for oral solution: Each packet contains macrogol 3350 and electrolytes.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended dosage involves taking Plenvu in two doses:
- The first dose is typically taken the evening before the colonoscopy, and the second dose is taken on the day of the procedure, as directed by the healthcare provider.
