A member asked:
I have to take suprep tomorrow and i am worried about side effects as i get dehydrated easily. any safer alternatives or am i just in for the ride?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Part of the prep: Part of the surprep protocol includes drinking 32 ounces of water after the 16 ounces of surprep. It is unlikely you will get dehydrated.
