Pediatric use information is approved for Braintree Laboratories, Inc.'s SUPREPP® BOWEL PREP KIT (sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate) oral solution. However, due to Braintree Laboratories, Inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that pediatric information. Sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution is an osmotic laxative indicated for cleansing of the colon in preparation for colonoscopy in adult patients. ( 1 ) Dosage and administration 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Preparation and Administration ( 2.2 ) Must dilute in water prior to ingestion. Administration of two bottles of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution is required for a complete preparation for colonoscopy. One bottle is equivalent to one dose. Must consume additional water after each dose. Stop consumption of all fluids at least 2 hours before the colonoscopy. Recommended Dosage and Administration Split-Dose (two-day) regimen consists of two doses of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution: first dose during the evening prior to colonoscopy and second dose the next day, during the morning of colonoscopy. ( 2.1 , 2.3 ) Recommended sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution dosage is: Adults: Two 6-ounce doses. ( 2.3 ) For complete information on preparation before colonoscopy and administration of the dosage regimen, see full prescribing information. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Dosage and Administration Overview Administration of two bottles of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution and additional water is required for a complete preparation for colonoscopy. One bottle of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution is equivalent to one dose. Sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution is supplied in one dosage strength [see Dosage Forms and Strengths (3) ] . The recommended dosage is: Adults: Two 6-ounce doses [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] .

Must consume additional water after each dose of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate oral solution. On the day before colonoscopy, consume only a light breakfast or clear liquids (e.g., water, strained fruit juice without pulp, lemonade, plain coffee or tea, chicken broth, gelatin dessert without fruit). On the day of the colonoscopy only consume clear liquids up to two hours prior to colonoscopy. Do not eat solid food or drink milk or eat or drink anything colored red or purple.
