Hope you got the: answer elsewhere because it's TOMORROW, I think (Monday). Many doctors prefer their patients use the mag citrate of electrolyte solution for cleansing. If you do use sodium phosphate pills for prep the directions are: Evening before: take 4 tablets with 8 oz clear liquid every 15 minutes for a total of 20 pills. Day of: take 4 tablets with 8 oz every 15 for total of 12. GRAND TOTAL = 32 pills!

Ask your doctor: Different doctors use different pre-procedure protocols for clearing your bowels. I would contact your doctor's office and ask. Good luck!
