  • Hello Harriet, and thank you for posting. 

    Taking medication with water is fine before a colonoscopy. Patients with chronic conditions who are on long-term medications who need this procedure would also need to do the same.

    I'm sorry that we have not got back to you til now, we do aim to answer all enquiries within three working days.

    Take care, and I hope the colonoscopy goes well.

    If you want to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
