Good morning.
I have a question about the schedule of Fortrans before colonoscopy
My examination is at 8.00 a.m. According to the leaflet from the Fortrans doctor, I should start drinking at 4 p.m. and drink 3 liters,
And before the test, one liter. 3-4 hours before.
So if I have a test at 8, I have to drink this liter at 4 am? Is this how it should look like?

Yes, according to the recommendations, if the test is at 8:00 a.m., you should drink the last portion of Fortrans 3-4 hours before, i.e. around 4:00 a.m. It is important to take the entire dose of the preparation (4 liters in total) according to the schedule, starting from 4:00 p.m. the previous day to ensure effective cleansing of the intestines before colonoscopy.
