Preparation
Colonoscopy is an examination of the colon (large bowel) with a flexible tube about the thickness of your pinky finger, which
transmits a live color image onto a television screen. There are many things a person would rather do than undergo a bowel
prep for a colonoscopy, but your efforts at cleansing your colon are essential for an accurate procedure. These instructions are
designed to maximize the ease, safety and success of your preparation. It is EXTREMELY important for you to drink large
amounts of clear liquids while doing this bowel cleansing prep!
Risks
No procedure can guarantee 100% diagnostic accuracy and all involve some risk. The decision to proceed is made after
weighing the potential risks and benefits. Serious complications are rare and include, but are not limited to, perforation,
bleeding, infection, aspiration, reaction to medicines, and the need for surgery or transfusion due to one of the above
complications. These occurrences are all rare.

Other_________________________________________________________________________________ How do I know if my prep is adequate?
The stool should be watery in consistency. It does not have to be clear in color like water since digestive
juices will continue to tint the stool yellow and small flecks of debris are not a problem as long as the stool
is not muddy or thick. If there is any question, you can self administer a tap water or fleet enema prior to
leaving home for the procedure.
What side effects may I expect?
Since the prep works by flooding the intestinal tract with fluid, abdominal bloating and cramping may
occur, as well as some nausea and vomiting. This is usually temporary, and as the diarrhea develops,
symptoms will gradually improve. Weakness can also occur, especially if you have not taken enough fluid
with the prep, and can be remedied by increasing fluid intake.
Will the prep interfere with my other medications?
Medications taken at least an hour before beginning the prep should be adequately absorbed, but thereafter,
they are likely to be washed away by the prep.
Remember, stay close to the bathroom facilities
It is also worthwhile to get a supply of aloe wet wipes and Desitin ointment to ward off a sore bottom.
Good Luck! This is the hardest part of the procedure, call (914) 683-1619 with any questions you may have.
