Ok to take Sutab tablet prep prior to endoscopy?

i’m getting my first endoscopy + colonoscopy to see if there’s bleeding in upper and lower for my anemia.

For the colonoscopy, I would prefer to do the tablets prep versus the liquid prep.

Has anyone experienced irritation from choosing prep tablets?

The nurse said that the tablet prep is not recommended for those getting the endoscopy and colonoscopy together as it may cause irritation.

Is tablet prep (sutab) ok if doing colonoscopy + endoscopy?

Hello, Im scheduled for my first colonoscopy + endoscopy in search for source of my anemia (bleeding). Nurse ordered the Suprep liquid bowel prep but after seeing husband so miserable chugging it down and his brother saying the sutab tablet prep was a breeze, i messaged asking to switch to tablets.

Nurse replies: -If you're having both a colonoscopy and an endoscopy, Sutab is not recommended because it may cause irritation seen during the endoscopy.

Have you also been given this advice?

Has anyone done both liquid prep and tablet prep and have a better experience with the tablets for their colonoscopy prep?

thank you!
