Patients undergoing a colonoscopy procedure should adequately hydrate before, during, and after the use of colon cleansing products. Patients should not take a colon cleansing product within 7 days of previous administration. No additional enema or laxative is required, and patients should be advised not to take additional products, particularly those containing sodium phosphate. Timing of all doses should be determined by the individual product manufacturer or a health care provider.

Health care providers should instruct patients whether or not to eat or drink anything before their medical test, and what to eat or drink for up to 24 hours after their test.

It is not necessary to empty the enema bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed.

Each administration of sodium biphosphate-sodium phosphate in tablet form has a purgative effect for approximately 1 to 3 hours.

Sodium biphosphate-sodium phosphate enemas should produce a bowel movement within 1 to 5 minutes. The enema solution should not be retained for more than 10 minutes.

Sodium biphosphate-sodium phosphate oral solution generally produces a bowel movement in 30 minutes to 6 hours.

Medications administered in close proximity to sodium biphosphate-sodium phosphate may not be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract due to the rapid intestinal peristalsis and watery diarrhea induced by the purgative agent.
