What is sutab?

Sutab is a prescription medication used to cleanse the colon before a colonoscopy procedure. It is a combination of two drugs, sodium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate, which work together to induce diarrhea and empty the colon. Sutab comes in the form of a powder that is dissolved in water and taken orally in split doses the evening before and the morning of the colonoscopy.

Some common side effects of Sutab include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dehydration. It is important to drink plenty of clear liquids while taking Sutab to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

Sutab is generally well-tolerated and effective at cleansing the colon before a colonoscopy. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to inform them of any medical conditions or medications you are taking before using Sutab.
