Here’s what you should know:

1. Plenvu is now available in the U.S.

2. The preparation process is a patient-reported barrier to colonoscopy.

3. The FDA approved Plenvu in May. Several trials have proven Plenvu is as effective as other preparation alternatives.

4. Plenvu is also the only FDA-approved same-day, morning-of-colonoscopy preparation solution.

5. Ann Arbor-based University of Michigan Adjunct Professor of Medicine Philip Schoenfeld, MD, said, “Plenvu is an important advancement in bowel preparation products. By reducing both the volume of solution and addressing product palatability, Plenvu may make it easier for patients to cleanse their colon prior to colonoscopy.”
