UW Medicine’s Digestive Health Center has created two handouts to guide patients who are taking GoLytely to prepare for a colonoscopy.

The first handout, Colonoscopy: How to prepare with GoLytely is a timeline that tells what to do 7 days before, 5 days before, 1 day before, and on the day of the procedure.

The second handout, Colonoscopy: How to prepare with GoLytely (same-day prep), is also a timeline but is for same-day prep.

Handouts are available in Chinese, English, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic and Japanese.
