Can you use preparation h suppositories day before colonoscopy?

The colonoscopy will not be affected, but they are probably not going to help much once you have started the bowel prep.

Suppositories will not be effective once you have started taking the bowel prep, because they will be washed out of the rectum along with everything else. They will not prevent you from having the colonoscopy, but they probably will not give you any benefit either. Good luck with your procedure.
