Clenpiq
Indications
Clenpiq is a combination medication used for cleansing the colon as preparation for a colonoscopy in adults.
Dosage and Administration
- Mix Clenpiq powder as directed before use.
- Ensure any fluid and electrolyte imbalances are corrected prior to taking Clenpiq.
- Follow the instructions to mix Clenpiq powder with water to create the solution.
- Take one bottle of Clenpiq as one dose. Two doses are required for a complete colonoscopy preparation.
- Take the first dose in the evening before the colonoscopy and the second dose the next morning, before the colonoscopy.
- Take the first dose in the afternoon or early evening before the colonoscopy and the second dose 6 hours later.
- Drink additional fluids after each dose.
- Consume only clear fluids from the start of Clenpiq treatment until after the colonoscopy.

- Do not drink anything, including water, at least 2 hours before the colonoscopy.
Mechanism of Action
Clenpiq works by combining a stimulant laxative, Sodium Picosulfate, which increases bowel movements, with Magnesium Oxide and Anhydrous Citric Acid. These form Magnesium Citrate in the stomach, which draws water into the bowel, causing a laxative effect.
