Colonoscopy prep, does it matter what time?!
Question: Colonoscopy prep, does it matter what time.?
I was prescribed Osmoprep for bowel preparation. I'm on a liquid diet all day. The preparation instruction my doctor gave me says to start the first regimen at 4pm and the last at 9pm. I'm anxious to start earlier. My sister told me her doctor's instruction was to start at 12.
My exam is tomorrow morning, and I'm to stop all intake at midnight. I'm hoping it really doesn't matter what time I start.
Has anyone completed the Osmoprep earlier in the day.?
