Question: I have numbness in both arms after taling 4 tablets of dulcolox after taking 4 liters of gavilyte-n for colonoscopy prep
Brief Answer:
Your electrolytes may be running low...Drink some gatorade for replacement
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these cramps. This is suggestive of low potassium and dehydration. You must have had several episodes of watery stools and clearly needs to replenish the serum electrolytes. Drink rehydration fluid as much as possible to compensate for the loss. If this persist, please rush to the nearest health facility for treatment using intravenous fluids and electrolytes.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
