Colonoscopy prep question

Offline GailyLou 1 month ago

Hi everyone, new here!

I have a colonoscopy booked for not long from now and I was wondering if anyone was given Senna tablets to take for 3 nights before taking the stronger laxative sachets? I haven’t heard of this before and wondered if it was normal?

I have extreme reflux at the moment that’s even going into my nose, throat and mouth so very concerned how all of these laxatives will affect my stomach

Hi there, I had a colonoscopy 6 yrs ago and just took the overnight meds, wasn’t offered senna tablets. The overnight pre meds worked brilliantly. Hope all goes well x

Thank you so much for your reply, can I ask what laxatives you were given please? They’ve said that the laxatives won’t work on their own without the senna, but I’ve never heard this before :(
