The report and all results will also be sent to your GP  \n􀁸 Please take the time to watch the video on our website about colonoscopy, this will aid in a higher understanding of what will happen when you attend our centre:  \n[https://www.gastromedicine.com.au/colonoscopy/](https://www.gastromedicine.com.au/colonoscopy/)  \nWhy is Bowel Preparation Required  \nAs you are having a colonoscopy, you MUST take the medicines to clean out your bowel the day/s BEFORE the procedure. Bowel preparation is a very important part of colonoscopic examination as it allows your Doctor to carefully and thoroughly look for and safely remove small polyps / lesions that could enlarge overtime if not detected early. Your Doctor may have to abandon the procedure if the views are obstructed by faeces.  \nAdditional Information During Your Bowel Preparation  \nPlease take ALL of your normal medications with a small glass of water (including all medicines for high blood pressure, heart rhythm disturbances and epilepsy) unless otherwise instructed by your GP, Gastroenterologist or GastroMedicine & ENDOSCOPY Nurse (No fluids up to 4 hours prior to your procedure) .  \nHeadaches can be a common side effect when drinking the preparation, please note you can take paracetamol or anyother pain killer you normally take for headaches (excluding aspirin) at any point during the preparation stage.  \n(No fluids up to 4 hours prior to your procedure) .  \nThe preparation can cause dehydration, which in some instances can lead to fainting. Dehydration can be avoided by drinking clear fluids to keep hydrated (please see suggested list of clear fluids on page 2 of the White Diet instruction sheet) . It is important you take precautionary measures when you stand up (particularly from the lying position, eg. sit first to ensure you are not dizzy then stand slowly), if you use mobility aids such as walkers/sticks please ensure you use them.  \nYou can drink too much water – there is the risk of drinking too much water whilst taking the preparation which can lead to low sodium in the blood. If you feel you need to drink more than what is instructed, please drink water that contains hydralyte, lemonade or sports drinks (ie. not pure water) .  \nBaby wipes used in place of toilet paper during the preparation stage can help to decrease anal irritation caused by excessive wiping (for example- brands like‘Curash baby care simple water wipes’ or‘Water wipes baby wipes’work best and are both widely available from all major supermarkets in the baby care aisle) .  \nTO COMPL","cbCainfeApRQDM0r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainfeApRQDM0r","pdf",228986,"English","# Key Information\n## Bowel Preparation Required\n## Additional Information During Bowel Preparation\n## Afternoon Colonoscopy Appointment - PicoPrep Instructions\n### 3 Days Prior\n### 2 Days Prior\n### Day Before (Dosing Schedule)","[{\"question\":\"Why is bowel preparation required for a colonoscopy?\",\"answer\":\"Medicines are needed to clean out the bowel before the procedure.
