I found the new drug..........ask them about it.........it has to be better than the nasty lime stuff.

Called [b]Plenvu[/b], this liquid drug is designed to replace the traditional, poor-tasting bowel cleaning liquid that patients drink to prep their systems for a colonoscopy. The drug will allow patients take less liquid and still prepare for the screening.

"Physicians can now offer their patients a new preparation option for colonoscopies that features a lower-volume, [b]one-liter[/b] ... bowel preparation," said Mark McKenna, senior vice president and general manager, Salix Pharmaceuticals, the maker of the drug. "Studies have shown that high-volume bowel preparations can often be a deterrent to patients fully completing their preparation regimen."
