sodium sulfate + potassium sulfate + magnesium sulfate + diatrizoate meglumine + diatrizoate sodium

SUPREP oral sulfate solution + Gastrografin is a combination regimen primarily utilized for bowel cleansing and fecal tagging prior to diagnostic imaging procedures, most notably CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy). SUPREP is an osmotic laxative containing sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate; it works by creating a high osmotic pressure within the intestinal lumen, drawing water into the bowel to induce diarrhea and clear fecal matter. Gastrografin is a water-soluble, iodinated radiopaque contrast medium composed of diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium. When administered as part of a bowel preparation protocol, Gastrografin serves as a 'tagging' agent, opacifying any residual fluid or stool. This allows radiologists to distinguish between retained colonic contents and potentially significant lesions like polyps or colorectal cancer, thereby improving the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic imaging.
