Same day bowel prep means using the entire bowel cleansing agent on the same day as your colonoscopy. There are 3 ways to take your bowel cleansing agent prior to colonoscopy: the day-before regimen, the split-dose regimen, and the same-day regimen. The same day bowel regimen is the same day bowel prep.
The same day regimen is a relatively new method designed for afternoon colonoscopies. In the same-day regimen, the bowel cleansing agent is used in the morning of the colonoscopy. Same day prep has been found to be as effective as split-dose regimen for afternoon colonoscopies.
