Colonoscopy preparation help?!
Question:
Colonoscopy preparation help?
Can anyone tell me the name of a colonoscopy preparation that won't make me throw up? Dr gave me PicoPrep and Glycoprep-C, but I can't keep them down. Any suggestions?
Answers:
A simple thing to try is to take some benadryl (25 - 50 mg) half an hour before taking the prep. Benadryl works the same as meclizine and other anti-nausea medications, and most people have it at home. Don't take it if it knocks you out, though, you need to be able to run to the bathroom safely :)
