Fleet Phospho Soda Instructions

Before undergoing a colonoscopy, patients are often urged to follow instructions prior to a colonoscopy and to self-administer a dose of the over-the-counter laxative saline solution Fleet Phospho Soda mixed with a clear liquid. For best results, colonoscopy patients should drink the Fleet Phospho Soda mixture on an empty stomach in the morning and at least 30 minutes before eating. Drinking the mixture at bedtime also is acceptable.

Fleet Phospho Soda and Aspirin

Patients preparing for a colonoscopy should stop taking aspirin and the following medications ten days before the procedure (Tylenol (acetaminophen) is acceptable):

other medications that contain aspirin
medications that contain iron or fish oil
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories such as Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen and Aleve
vitamin E

Directions for Using Fleet Phospho Soda

Dosage for colonoscopy patients is usually 1.5 fluid ounces twice a day, six hours apart. The Fleet Phospo Soda is mixed with equal parts water or another clear liquid, followed by 8 ounces of water.

Some of the clear liquids that can be mixed with Fleet Phospho Soda include:

Apple or white grape juice (not tomato, grapefruit, or orange juice)
7-up®
Gatorade® (except red)
Jell-O® (without fruit)
Popsicles
Broth
Tea or coffee (no cream or milk; sugar OK)

Three days before the procedure, patients should drink at least two quarts of fluids per day. Two days before the procedure, patients should avoid:

raw fruits
raw vegetables
raw or cooked corn
salads
red Jell-O
beets
granola
nuts
seeds

How Long Does Fleet Phospho Soda Last?

After approximately one hour, the Fleet Phospo Soda mixture creates very loose, liquid stool. However, it could take from less than 30 minutes to more than six hours to achieve the same result.
