          3. Subjects with increased risk of bowel perforation, including connective tissue
             disorders, toxic dilation of the bowel or recent bowel surgery.

          4. Subjects with uncontrolled pre-existing electrolyte abnormalities, or those with
             clinically significant electrolyte abnormalities based on Visit 1 laboratory results,
             such as hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hyperphosphatemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia,
             uncorrected dehydration, or those secondary to the use of diuretics or angiotensin
             converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

          5. Subjects with bleeding disorders and/or impaired platelet function, or neutropenia.

          6. Subjects with a prior history of renal, liver or cardiac insufficiency (including
             congestive heart failure or other significant cardiac abnormality)

          7. Subjects with estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below normal range (less than
             70 ml/min/1.73m2)

          8. Subjects required to take any other oral medication within 3 hours of dosing until
             completion of both doses.

          9. Subjects with impaired consciousness that predisposes them to pulmonary aspiration.

         10. Subjects with tendency for nausea and/or vomiting, or that have known swallowing
             disorders.

         11. Subjects for whom intake of substances is likely to affect gastrointestinal motility
             or urinary flow rate.

         12. Subjects undergoing colonoscopy for foreign body removal and/or decompression.

         13. Subjects with an abnormal ECG result at Visit 1.

         14. Subjects who are pregnant or lactating, or intending to become pregnant during the
             study.

         15. Subjects of childbearing potential who refuse a pregnancy test.

             for any reason, including inability to follow study procedures and history of major
