Tell your doctor: Tell you doctor who will be doing the colonoscopy about all the medications. including over the counter drugs and herbals you are taking. Having said that, do not take the medication on the day of the procedure.

Good afternoon doctors. My urologist wants me to do a Fleet Enema before a prostate biopsy. I live alone and am worried that I may not do the enema correctly. Is there an oral medication I can take similar to a Fleet Enema like I did for colonoscopy?
