I have an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 6 days and I'm terrified of taking the bowel prep. I have an irrational fear that I'll have an allergic reaction to the medication.
The bowel prep consists of 3 tablets of Bisacodyl, Magnesium Citrate and Glycoprep which is the same as Colyte or Colonlytely.
I have researched the internet on these and they all say the same thing but no indication if anyone has ever suffered anaphylaxis from them.
It sounds crazy but I don't know if I can take it. I'm also worried about the sedation the dr gives you for the procedure in case I react to that.
Does anyone know if these drugs can have serious side effects?
