FAQs
How do I prepare for a colonoscopy?
Preparation for a colonoscopy requires laxatives. A powder will be prescribed to you which will be reconstituted in 2 lit of water. The entire preparation is to be consumed within 2 hours. Alternatively, for early morning procedures, a split preparation is possible whereby half the dose is taken the previous night and half in the morning. This medication will result in loose motions over 5-8 times. This is the desired effect and will lead to expulsion of all the stools from the colon and will allow clearer visualization during the procedure. It is preferable to consume semi solid and a soft diet 1 day prior to the procedure.
