What are Plenvu Sachets?

Plenvu is a type of medicine called a bowel preparation. It makes your bowels clean so that they are ready for examination or surgery. Plenvu works by emptying the contents of your bowels, so you should expect to have lots of watery bowel movements.

Plenvu is a dual flavoured laxative with two doses contained in three sachets. There is one sachet for Dose 1 (‘Dose 1 Sachet’) and two sachets for Dose 2 (‘Dose 2 Sachet A’ and ‘Dose 2 Sachet B’). You need to take all three sachets for one treatment. Dose 1 is mango flavour, Dose 2 is fruit punch flavour.

Plenvu is intended for adults (18 years of age and older), including the elderly, before any clinical procedure that needs a clean bowel.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about why this medicine has been recommended for you.
