1. Follow your
doctor's instructions and start drinking laxatives within the prescribed time. Usually the night before the colonoscopy.
2. Dissolve laxatives in
the appropriate amount of warm
waterto ensure that all the powder has dissolved. Some laxatives may need to be mixed with specific liquids, such as carbonated drinks or apple juice, as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
3. Drink
water properly after drinking laxatives to help further cleanse the intestines and ensure adequate bowel preparation.
