Sutab is indicated for bowel cleansing prior to colonoscopy or other diagnostic procedures requiring visualization of the colon. It is prescribed for adults undergoing colon examination.
Sutab contains osmotic laxative agents that work by drawing water into the intestines, which helps stimulate bowel movements and flush out the colon contents to achieve thorough cleansing.
Sutab is available by prescription only and should be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare provider. A typical regimen involves taking tablets with clear liquids in a split-dose approach the evening before and morning of the procedure. Patients should stay well hydrated, avoid certain medications around the prep time, and inform their doctor of any kidney problems, heart conditions, or electrolyte imbalances.
