The name of the drug was not included in the question. If your question is about Fortrans tagged with the tags, please read on.
Fortrans should be used as prescribed by your doctor. The preparation can be used in a single dose. Each sachet should be dissolved in 1 liter of water, which gives 3-4 liters of solution in the evening on the day before the examination or procedure, with a possible 1-hour break after drinking 2 liters of solution. As recommended by your doctor, drink one glass of 250 ml of the solution every 10 to 15 minutes. It is usually recommended that the patient take the last dose of the drug 4 hours before the test. Perhaps due to the early time of the colonoscopy, your doctor recommended this procedure.
If you have any doubts about the recommendations obtained, I encourage you to repeat the consultation. You can also take advantage of a paid teleconsultation in Polish arranged e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
