Low dose colonic cleansing system
View Patent ↗A method of colonic cleansing that includes administering orally a first dose and a second dose of a liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition. The second dose includes an amount of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition that is 55% to 95% of the amount of the first dose.
1. A method of colonic cleansing, comprising:
administering orally a first dose of a liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition; and
administering orally a second dose of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition,
wherein the second dose comprises an amount of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition that is 60% to 70% of the amount of the first dose of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition.
2. A method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition comprises a phosphate cathartic.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises monobasic sodium phosphate and dibasic sodium phosphate.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second dose comprises an amount of the phosphate cathartic that is 66% of the amount of the first dose of the phosphate cathartic.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first dose of the phosphate cathartic comprises from 15 to 25 g monobasic sodium phosphate and from 5.5 to 9.4 g dibasic sodium phosphate.
6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first dose of the phosphate cathartic comprises 20 to 23 g monobasic sodium phosphate and 7.5 to 8.6 g dibasic sodium phosphate.
7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second dose of the phosphate cathartic comprises from 15 g to 17.50 g monobasic sodium phosphate and from 5.64 g to 6.58 g dibasic sodium phosphate.
8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises water.
9. The method of claim 3 , further comprising mixing the phosphate cathartic with a flavorant and a sweetener.
10. The method of claim 3 , further comprising supplying the phosphate cathartic as a concentrate.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising mixing the phosphate cathartic with water.
12. The method of claim 3 , further comprising waiting at least three hours between administering the first dose and the second dose.
13. In a method of colonic cleansing including consuming a first and second dose of a liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition, the improvement comprising the second dose being an amount of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition that is 60% to 70% of the amount of the first dose of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition comprises a phosphate cathartic.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises monobasic sodium phosphate and dibasic sodium phosphate.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first dose of the phosphate cathartic comprises from 15 to 25 g monobasic sodium phosphate and from 5.5 to 9.4 g dibasic sodium phosphate.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first dose of the phosphate cathartic comprises 20 to 23 g monobasic sodium phosphate and 7.5 to 8.6 g dibasic sodium phosphate.
18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising mixing the phosphate cathartic with a flavorant and a sweetener.
19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising waiting at least three hours between administering the first dose and the second dose.
