HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablets Bowel Prep Kit is a medicine to clean out the colon (intestines) before a colonoscopy. Nausea, stomach cramping, and abdominal fullness are the most common side effects. These happen in up to 50% of patients.

You should not use this product if you are allergic to anything in it. You should also not use this product if your intestines are blocked or larger than normal or if you have a stomach problem called gastric retention, or an inflammation of your large intestines. If you have severe ulcerative colitis, tell your doctor before using this product. Any woman who is pregnant or who thinks she might be should tell her doctor before using this product. This product has not been studied in pediatric patients and pregnant women.

Do not add anything else, such as flavorings, to the solution. Do NOT chew or crush the bisacodyl delayed-release tablets. If you have severe discomfort or distention (bloating), stop drinking the solution for a while. You can also wait longer between drinking each glass of solution until the discomfort goes away. Any medicines you take within 1 hour of starting to drink the solution may be flushed out of your body by the solution. You should avoid drinking large amounts of water during or after taking this product or after a colonoscopy.
