What Causes Delay In Bowel Movement Despite Taking Suprax?
I have a colonoscopy tomorrow afternoon. My doctor gave me Suprex to clean out my bowels. I took the first dose two hours ago and so far very little bowel movement has occurred. I have IBS with constipation -- so I'm wondering if this is keeping my bowels from emptying -- even after the first dose of Suprex two hours ago.

Hello dear , Hi
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Suprax is antibiotic containing cefixime ( 200 ) mg , prophylactic for the
procedure or from some other reason ; but it is not a bowel cleaner .
So you can not expect to be clearing of your bowels from the suprax
Hope this clears your query .
Regards .
