Miralax prep

I am having my first colonoscopy next march 18th 2015, my instructions read to mix 17.9oz of miralax into 64oz of Gatorade , now everywhere on the internet I see 8 oz into 64 oz. should I double check with the dr.'s office its on a form they handed me today after I had the endoscopy done. Any suggestions, has anyone been told to use the 17.9 oz.? Thanks for the replies:D

I would check with the doctor's office. Not sure where you are from, but the bottle is the smaller one, the entire bottle.....
 
Thanks, I'm in Puerto Rico actually. I will go tomorrow to make sure. I bought the smaller bottle but reading the instructions it said the larger one. Seems like a lot to me for a 64 oz bottle of Gatorade but everything is so different here, I was ever given a prescription to go pick up at C.V.S the Demerol vials that was a shocker,lol. The good thing was it only cost under 7 bucks for 2. Strange laws .
