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 kit for colonic cleansing, comprising:
a first dose of an osmotic colonic evacuant composition, and
a second dose of the osmotic colonic evacuant composition,
wherein the second dose comprises an amount of the osmotic colonic evacuant composition that is 60% to 70% of the amount of the first dose of the osmotic colonic evacuant composition, and
the osmotic colonic evacuant is not in the form of tablets or capsules.
2. A kit of claim 1 , wherein the osmotic colonic evacuant composition comprises a phosphate cathartic.
3. The kit of claim 2 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises monobasic sodium phosphate and dibasic sodium phosphate.
4. The kit 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.
5. The kit 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.
6. The kit of claim 3 , wherein the second dose of the phosphate cathartic comprises 12.96 to 15.12 g monobasic sodium phosphate and 4.86 to 5.67 g dibasic sodium phosphate.
7. The kit of claim 3 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises water.
8. The kit of claim 3 , wherein the first dose and the second dose of the phosphate cathartic are in a single sealed container.
9. The kit of claim 3 , wherein the first dose and the second dose of the phosphate cathartic are in separate sealed containers.
10. The kit of claim 3 , further comprising a flavorant and a sweetener.
11. The kit of claim 3 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises powder.
12. The kit of claim 11 , wherein the first dose and the second dose of the phosphate cathartic are in a single sealed container.
13. The kit of claim 11 , wherein the first dose and the second dose of the phosphate cathartic are in separate sealed containers.
14. The kit of claim 3 , further comprising a dosage container.
15. A kit for colonic cleansing, comprising:
an osmotic colonic evacuant composition; and
at least one dosage container,
wherein the at least one dosage container has markings to denote a first dose and a second dose, and
the second dose comprises an amount that is 60% to 70% of the amount of the first dose.
16. The kit of claim 15 , wherein osmotic colonic evacuant composition comprises a phosphate cathartic.
17. The kit of claim 15 , wherein the phosphate cathartic comprises monobasic sodium phosphate and dibasic sodium phosphate.
18. A kit for colonic cleansing, comprising:
a first sealed container filled with 45 mL of an osmotic colonic evacuant composition;
a second sealed container filled with 30 mL of the osmotic colonic evacuant composition;
at least one packet comprising a flavorant; and
at least one dosage container;
wherein the osmotic colonic evacuant composition comprises 0.45 gram/mL of monobasic sodium phosphate and 0.18 gram/mL of dibasic sodium phosphate and
the at least one dosage container has at least one marking to denote a volume fill level.
