B
Light sedation is required for a colonoscopy.
Special preparation is required before a colonoscopy. Clear liquids are given the day before, to be followed by some form of bowel cleanser, such as GoLYTELY. Enemas until clear also may be ordered.
No restriction of metallic objects is made for a colonoscopy.
A colonoscopy does not require the swallowing of an opaque liquid.
