MiraLAX and Gatorade Colonoscopy Prep Warning
Some of your medications such as blood thinners (e.g.: Coumadin/warfarin, xarelto, Aggrenox, pradaxo, Plavix/clopidregel) may need to be stopped for a few days before your procedure. At the time your procedure was scheduled, we would have given you specific instructions of how to manage these changes – you would also want to check with the prescribing doctor. If you have questions, please call us (864-7483). If you are on insulin or other medications for diabetes, please CHECK with your REGULAR physician for specific instructions. Otherwise, take your regular meds and inhalers. Your MiraLAX Colonoscopy prep is as follows:
1. Please buy Dulcolax laxative tablets – you will need 2 tablets. Dulcolax is over the counter –
no prescription is necessary. A prescription for MiraLAX will be sent to you. It can be bought over the counter as well. 2. Three days before your procedure: try to avoid eating nuts, popcorn, and seeds.
3. The day before: STOP ALL SOLID FOOD INTAKE. Begin a clear liquid diet as soon as you
