The Golytely Cleanse -- or polyethylene glycol 3350 solution -- is a doctor-prescribed colon cleanse that comes in the form of a white powder in a large jug. You mix the solution with 4 l of water and take it orally to prepare you for a lower gastrointestional examination such as a colonoscopy, an exam used to look for any types of colon abnormalities like polyps or cancer. The solution induces a watery diarrhea that empties the colon over the course of several hours.
Medical Preparation
Golytely cleanse is beneficial for you if you are going to undergo a colonoscopy or other lower gastrointestional examinations such as a barium enema X-ray, which is used to look for any abnormalities in the large intestine including the rectum and colon. It is also beneficial for examinations because it induces a diarrhea that cleanses the bowel very quickly, usually within 4 hours. This eliminates the need for exam preparations that require fasting and several enemas that are done over a much longer time frame.
Simplicity of the Product
The Golytely cleanse is simple to prepare and administer. Patients combine the white powder with water in a 4-l jug, shake until the powder dissolves, and drink. For those unable to drink the solution, it can be administered by a nasogastric tube that bypasses having to taste it. The Golytely Cleanse solution comes in a pineapple flavor to make drinking the solution easier and more palatable.
Non-Intrusive Use
Because Golytely is administered orally, it does not involve an insertion of a foreign object into your body, as with an enema.
