It is advised that patients receiving IV anesthesia be supervised immediately following the procedure by a responsible adult for at least 12-24 hours.  \n3 DAY NOTICE IS REQUIRED FOR CANCELLATION OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $50.00 FEE.  \nItems to Purchase:  \n􀂉 Purchase one 238g bottle of Miralax and one 119g bottle of Miralax. Generic brand is acceptable. This is over-the-counter.  \n􀂉 Purchase three 32oz bottles of Gatorade or PowerAde; sugar-free for diabetics. No red or purple color.  \n􀂉 Purchase One small box/ 4 Bisacodyl laxative tablets. These are also over-the-counter.  \n􀂉 Purchase one 10 ounce bottle of magnesium citrate which is over the counter at local grocery and drugstores.  \nIt is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow instructions carefully and completely. Please be sure to consume the entire prep or the colonoscopy may have to be repeated. If you are still passing brown muddy stool, brown liquid, brown semi-soft stool or brown tar-like appearing stool after all of the prep has been consumed, please contact the office at 410-730-1000 ext 28 (this extension is only to be used the day of the procedure) after 7:30 am and before 9 am the day of the procedure for further instructions. Drinking plenty of liquids during the entire prep will help the Miralax work and will reduce the risk of dehydration!

Please remain close to toilet facilities, as bowel movements may come on suddenly.  \nHelpful Hints on how to take Miralax:  \n􀂉 Rapidly drinking each portion is better than drinking small amounts.  \n􀂉 Keeping the mixture cool or cold also helps.  \n􀂉 If you feel nauseated during the process, take a break from drinking for 30 –45 minutes, until your stomach settles, then restart the process again.  \n􀂉 If you experience severe cramping or vomiting more than once or you have questions about your prep , call the office 410-730-1000 ext 0 during business hours, ext 56 after business hours.  \n􀂉 To help protect your rectal area during the prep, you may wish to use baby wipes with aloe, Tucks pads, Vaseline, or Desitin ointment following each bowel movement  \n7 Days Before Procedure  \n􀁸 Read all instructions carefully  \n􀁸 Stop herbal supplements, herbal teas, vitamins, and, if possible, iron.  \n4 Days Before Procedure  \n􀁸 Patients should continue all medications unless instructed by their physician.  \n􀁸 Stop taking blood thinners Plavix, Ticlid, Aggrenox, Effient, Coumadin, or Persantine four days prior unless otherwise instructed by prescribing physician.
