Your doctor will give you a prescription for the kit.  \nFollow the instructions in this resource carefully. If you have any questions, contact your doctor’s office.  \nAbout your colonoscopy  \nA colonoscopy is an exam of the inside of your colon (large intestine) . It’s done by a gastroenterologist (GAS-troh-EN-teh-RAH-loh-jist) . A gastroenterologistis a doctor who treats problems with digestion. A gastroenterologist is also called a GI specialist.  \nThe GI specialist will use a colonoscope to see the inside of your colon. A colonoscope is a flexible tube with a camera on the end. The images will appear on a video monitor.  \nDuring your colonoscopy, the GI specialist can:  \n Do a biopsy (take small tissue samples) to check for cancer cells.  \n Remove polyps (growth of tissue) .  \n Take photos of the inside of your colon.  \nYour colon must be empty for your colonoscopy. Your GI specialist may not be able to see polyps or other problems if there’s stool (poop) inside your colon. If this happens, you may need to have another colonoscopy.  \nHow To Get Ready for Your Colonoscopy Using Sutab Bowel Prep Kit 1/20  \nYou will get anesthesia before your colonoscopy starts. Anesthesia is medicine to make you sleep during your procedure.  \nAbout Sutab bowel prep  \nSutab is a split-dose medicine that empties your bowels before your colonoscopy. Split-dose means the medicine comes in 2 doses.  \nYour Sutab kit will have 2 doses. Each dose of Sutab is 12 tablets. It will also have an empty 16-ounce container for water.  \nThe tablets may make your abdomen (belly) swell or feel uncomfortable. You may also feel nauseous (like you’re going to throw up), bloated, or cramping while you’re taking the tablets. If you do, slow down or stop drinking the water. Only keep drinking the water after these feelings stop.  \nCall your healthcare provider if you vomit (throw up) of feel pain in your abdomen. Feeling uncomfortable during your prep is normal, but feeling pain isnot.  \nWhat to do 1 week before your colonoscopy Ask about your medicines  \nYou may need to stop taking some of your usual medicines before your procedure. Or, you may need to take a different dose (amount) than usual. Talk with your healthcare provider about how to take your medicines before your procedure. Do not change how you take your medicines without talking with a healthcare provider.  \nThis section lists some examples of medicines, but there are many others. Make sure your care team knows all the prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, and dietary supplements you take. A prescription medicine is one you can only get with a prescription from a healthcare provider. An over-thecounter medicine is one you can buy without a prescription.  \nHow To Get Ready for Your Colonoscopy Using Sutab Bowel Prep Kit 2/20  \nIt’s very important to take your medicines and supplements the right way in the days before your procedure. If you don’t, we may need to reschedule your procedure.  \nAnticoagulants (Blood thinners)  \nBlood thinners are medications that affect the way your blood clots. If you take a blood thinner, ask the healthcare provider who prescribed it what to do before your colonoscopy.  \nHere are some examples of blood thinners.
