Do I Have to Finish Colonoscopy Prep?

Do I still need to take the rest of the prep? Yes. You must drink all the prep to fully clean out your colon for a safe and complete colonoscopy. I feel like throwing up (nausea) or did throw up (vomit) after taking the bowel prep.

What happens if I don't finish my colonoscopy prep?

If you didn't finish your prep or your bowel movements aren't reduced to clear liquids, contact the healthcare provider so you can reschedule your procedure. There's really no way to know for sure whether your bowel prep is complete before you have a colonoscopy.

Can you still have a colonoscopy if you don't finish the prep?

If you can't finish the bowel prep, let the doctor's office know. Better to cancel and reschedule the appointment than to have an incomplete colonoscopy because your colon wasn't empty.
