Question: I am a 44 year old female who has a colonoscopy scheduled for Monday morning at 11:00. I was given low volume clenpiq as prep. The directions are a split dosage first at 4:00 pm followed by another at 5:00 am. I have a weak stomach and afraid I will not be able to stomach second dose so early in the am would it be alright to start first dose at 2:00 pm followed by a second dose around 11:00 pm. Also are colonoscopies safe procedures?
