Very good afternoon doctors! i am preparing for a colonoscopy. my dr. gave me a rx for clenpiq, but my insurance does not cover it. can i use 238 gram miralax mixed into snapple or gatorade--is this just as good or should i pay for the clenpiq?

Colonoscopy prep: Please ask the doctor who will be doing the procedure if this is acceptable to him/her. Your doctor would probably prefer to help make that decision vice doctors on-line who won't be involved with your procedure.
