A member asked:

I have to take moviprep laxative for colonoscopy, do i add water and then add powder? or do i add powder to glass and then water ? or is either way ok

Ask Dr.: firstly, ask the doctor who prescribed the preparation or the nurse. Secondly, I am quite sure they must have provided you with written directions...
