can i take allergy medicine before colonoscopy
Hello! I heard you were having some questions regarding colonoscopy preparations and whether you can take allergy medicine? As a health and science enthusiast, I may share some inputs.
Hi Bill! Yes, I am scheduled for a colonoscopy and was wondering if it's safe to take my regular allergy medication before the procedure.
Great question! Usually, it's recommended to continue taking necessary medication, such as allergy meds, even before procedures like a colonoscopy. However, there could be exceptions depending on what specific medication you're taking. It's always best to consult with your doctor.
That's reassuring. I use cetirizine for my allergies daily. So, I can continue with it?
Considering you're using cetirizine, a common antihistamine for allergies, it should generally be fine. However, remember that I'm not a doctor, so you should still consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it's safe in your specific circumstances.
Absolutely, I will check with my doctor. Thank you for your insight, Bill.
