What laxative, in preparation for colonoscopy, caused kidney damage?


What laxative, in preparation for colonoscopy, caused kidney damage?I've been informed that, recently, a laxative used to cleanse the colon prior to a colonoscopy was found to cause kidney damage. Since a family member may have used it, I'd like to find out which one it was, and information about it.

Fleet Phos-pho soda enema. Type in laxitive preparation causing kidney damage in your search engine.

It does name Fleet Phos-pho soda enema and here is the link.

When I had mine done at Kaiser they told me to use the Fleets Phospho soda laxative, which I believe has some kind of sodium based ingredient as the main mover :-) It was oral, not an enema. But, that's not the one named in the lawsuit. FDA recalled Zelnorm
