During the two days

Non-PRO English Medical Medical (general)
The preparations before the test: During the two days prior to the test, subjects should only eat semi-liquid diet; during one day prior to the test subjects should orally take magnesium sulfate at a dosage of 100 ml, and on the day of the test, subjects should fast in the morning.

I don't why it does not sound enought to me. Is there a better way to say it?

TIA!!!

You could Title it and bullet it like so to avoid confusion

PREPARATIONS BEFOR THE TEST

- Two days prior to the Test: subjects should only eat semi-liquid
diet"
- One day prior to the test:subjects should orally take magnesium
sulfate at a dosage of 100 ml
- The day of the Test:subjects should fast in the morning.

This is just an option.

Good luck!
