Dosage
General: The volume and concentration of LIQUID POLIBAR PLUS® to be administered will depend on the degree and extent of contrast required in the area(s) under examination and on the equipment and technique employed.
Patient Preparation for Colon Examinations: In order to achieve optimum results, the colon must be cleansed prior to the use of a barium enema. This is usually accomplished by placing the patient on a low fat, low residue diet, combined with the use of laxatives and/or cathartics. A cleansing enema may also be used unless contraindicated.
Rectal Administration: In order to assure rapid colonic filling and drainage, LIQUID POLIBAR PLUS® should only be used with an enema kit with a large (½ inch) lumen such as the Super XL® Enema Bag System (Cat. No. 8925) or equivalent. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions if another administration system is used.
Single Contrast Colon Studies: Dilute 1 part LIQUID POLIBAR PLUS® with 5 parts water to yield approximately 17.5% w/v, 15% w/w; or dilute as required.
Typical Adult Dose: 1000 mL to 2500 mL of diluted suspension.
Double Contrast Colon Studies: Use undiluted.
Typical Adult Dose: 500 mL to 1500 mL or as directed by a physician.
