Recently Magnesium Citrate has been recalled due to contamination concerns. Magnesium Citrate is frequently used for prep prior to colonoscopies.
If you are a patient scheduled for a colonoscopy with Foundation Medical Partners, the Ambulatory Surgery Center or Southern NH Medical Center, we want to inform you that we are changing to Miralax powder.
If you have Magnesium Citrate at home, we recommend you dispose of it immediately.
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to the office you schedule through.
