Are there medications injected into the intestine during a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: If there is any bleeding during resection of polyp, Epinephrine may be injected to control bleeding. Sometimes india ink or saline injection are used to mark the area or to lift polyps.
