A member asked:
I have a colonoscopy scheduled at 3:30pm. how does the prep differ from a morning procedure? is it advisable to have one in the morning instead?

Usually the same: The colon prep is usually the same. The time of day does not matter about the test, it's just the convince for the patient and doctor.

Better in the am: Because it is easier to fast overnight than during the day when you are awake otherwise both require good cleansing
