How do i prepare for that capsule endoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quick prep: Usually, I have patients take a 10 ounce bottle of magnesium citrate the night before and have nothing to eat or drink 12 hours before the capsule so that the small intestine is clean. Some physician do a full colonscopy prep the night before, but i find my prep works very well.
