Fine: should be fine as long as you have no condition that is adversely affected by TYLENOL such as either allergy or liver disease.  H Robert Silverstein M.D. FACC

Question 2

can i take tylenol with codine the day before a colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

: If you take it 24 hours prior, it should not be an issue if you metabolize the codeine normally. If you take it within 24 hours of the procedure, let the doctor know about it since it may still be in your system and it may affect the medicines given for the procedure. Good luck with your procedure!

Claritin (loratadine): You should not have a problem with Claritin (loratadine).

Question 6

is it ok to have a colonoscopy when might be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Depends on reason: We sometimes will perform procedures like colonoscopy on women who are or might be pregnant. Obviously, if it can be postponed that would be ideal. But if there is a concern for cancer or other diseases, the risk of not performing the colonoscopy may be higher than the colonoscopy herself.  So talk with your doctor. Ask if she/he thinks you still need     the test despite being pregnant. Good luck.

Question 7

is it ok to eat orange jello during my colonoscopy prep?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.: Avoid red and purple, but orange doesn't usually cause much problem.  Be sure to consume a lot of liquids, too.  Check with your doctor's office, they might have unique restrictions/limitations.  The red jello can get confused with fresh blood!

Question 8

is it ok for a 73 years old lady with diverticulitis to have colonoscopy ,?

Accepted Answer

Colonscopy: I would not recommend colonoscopy in patients with active diverticulitis. There is a higher risk of complications and perforation. In general, I would recommend, treatment with antibiotics for diverticulitis and then consider colonoscopy at a future time. I would recommend discussion and review with a gastroenterologist.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Should be okay: There should be no problem doing this the day after endoscopies.

Question 10

i think i took 4 tylenol pm pills instead of 2 when i was getting ready for bed.  is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol overdose: It depends on when you had your last dosage, the current state of your liver, and the number of milligrams you took. 4 Grams within 24 hours is concerning. If you feel weak, nauseous, and have abdominal pain you should definitely get yourself 
evaluated as soon as possible. You should follow up with your physician regardless. Following directions as prescribed is crucial to preventing an overdose.
