Help today is Sunday, and my DR. is not in .. I've got to have a colonoscopy tomorrow i took 4 dulcolax,?

Question

And now I have to take Miralax every 30 minutes a 8.3 oz I've taken half of the bottle, but i feel sick, it says take all of it. But I can't cause i feel so sick. I think everything is out of me. Do i have to keep taking it?

Answer 1

just leave it a while and wait till you feel less sick and then take a bit more,

if your body cant handle it, they wont expect you to take it.

Answer 2

You should try otherwise they won't be able to viualise your bowel and the colonoscopy will have to be repeated.  Just take your time.

Answer 3

Take as much as you can.  It's not uncommon for people to start throwing up the prep solution.  The guy I work with has backup instructions in case you can't take the prep (I think it's 2 bottles of magnesium citrate, but I'm not sure).

You want things on the way out to be pretty clear.  If not, there will be p**p stuck to the walls of your colon and the test will be of little use.

Answer 4

You have to take all of the prescribed medicine...period.

If you don't and there is an issue tommorrow , they will not do it and tell you to come back.Then you will have to do it all over again.

Answer 5

Good question
