Pills for Colonoscopy Prep

Pills for colonoscopy prep are available by prescription
Prior to your colonoscopy, your colon must be cleaned out with a thorough bowel prep. Several different types of colonoscopy prep are available today, including pills or tablets. Pills may be easier for some people to take than a liquid version. Ask your doctor about what options are right for you.

SUTAB: Bowel prep in tablet form
In 2020, the FDA approved SUTAB, a tablet for colonoscopy prep. The makers of the tablet, Sebela Pharmaceuticals, say it offers a safe and effective alternative to liquid colonoscopy prep. For a future colonoscopy, 78% of patients said they would use SUTAB again.
