You're talking about magnesium citrate, or citrate of magnesium - and this stuff will clean you out. I'd ask the Dr about how much to take, and sleep on towels so you don't wreck your bed.
Another approach is 4 tablets of Duloclax followed by enough Miralax to dilute in 64 oz of Gatorade. That seems to work well.
But what you eat, or don't eat for 3 days before the colonoscopy is important. I failed one and don't want to go through that again.
