Could The Prepopik Dosage Taken Before The Day Of Colonoscopy Affect The Propofal Administered During The Procedure?
I need to take Prepopik prior to a colonoscopy. The instructions from the nurse are to take it in two doses, one at 5 PM an the other the day of the colonoscopy at 3 am. The second dose is followed by drinking water 3 8 oz. glasses of water, which I should complete by 4:30 am. Could this affect my safety in having the Propofal administered for the procedure which is scheduled for 10 am? I was concerned as I thought I needed to be NPO after midnight. Many thanks, Valerie
I have gone through your query. Before colonoscopy large intestine need to be cleared up for proper visualization. That is why you were given preponik. There is no interaction between preponik and propofol. Overnight NPO is not required before the procedure. You should follow instructions by medical staff without worry.
