Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is an endoscopical investigation for large bowel related conditions including change of bowel habit. It is also the recommended procedure for colorectal cancer screening.

 

Adequate bowel preparation before your colonoscopy appointment is critical for a complete colonoscopy procedure. Bowel preparation helps to clean your intestines so that the doctor can have a clear view during the examination of your colon. Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Solution (PEG) and PICOPREP are two medications commonly prescribed by doctors as part of the bowl preparation for colonoscopy.
