I have colonoscopy scheduled for the 14th and have started taking antibiotics. can i keep my appointment?

It is partly dependent on the condition for which you are taking antibiotic. In general, if colonoscopy is an elective procedure, it's better to postpone & reschedule the procedure when you have an acute illness. You should call the endoscopist for his final decision. Take care!
