Is It Safe To Take Klonopin Before A Cystoscopy?

Posted on Tue, 5 Jan 2016

Question: Can I take a sedative( Klonopin) before my cystoscopy ? I think I'm only getting a local anesthetic during the procedure. 2 years ago, I had a catheter inserted into me ( male) and the pain was horrible. I believe the cystoscopy will last for 5- 10 minutes.

Thanks

Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been planned to undergo Cystoscopy .

Clonazopam(Klonopin) is generally prescribed in Epilepsy and has minimul action as a pain reliever .

You can request your Urologist to Cystoscopy under short general anesthesia or sedation so that you will not feel any pain during the procedure and will come out of anesthesia within half hour and can go home within 2 hours.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
