SUTAB is a tablet-based bowel preparation used before a colonoscopy. It cleans the colon using oral tablets taken with water rather than a large-volume liquid solution. The prep is completed in stages and works best when dietary and medication guidelines are followed closely.
Your prep instructions differ from those included on the box, do not follow instructions on box. Please follow these instructions carefully! Important: Please do not eat breakfast the day prior to your procedure!
SUTAB preparation follows a structured timeline that begins several days before your procedure and continues through the morning of your exam. You’ll make diet and medication adjustments in advance, follow a clear-liquid diet the day before, and take two doses of the prep at scheduled times. Specific instructions and timing details are outlined below.
