• On the day before the examination, patients may eat easily digestible foods, preferably by 6:00 p.m. After that, only clear, transparent liquids are allowed.
• Regularly taken medications should be taken no later than 6 hours before the examination, with a small sip of water.
• Fluid intake must also be stopped two hours before the examination.
• Consult your family doctor or cardiologist regarding the discontinuation of blood-thinning medications.

The day before a colonoscopy, bowel preparation is performed using special medications prescribed by your doctor. A well-cleansed bowel is essential for a high-quality examination and an accurate diagnosis.

Recommendations during bowel preparation:

• Drink the solution slowly, in small sips, following the schedule prescribed by your doctor.
• To reduce the unpleasant taste, you may use a straw or drink the solution very cold.
• If necessary, you may use fresh lemon juice to improve the taste.
• If you experience discomfort or nausea, stop drinking for 20–30 minutes.
• If necessary, consult your doctor or nurse.

Before the procedure

• A colonoscopy is performed under short-term anesthesia to ensure complete comfort.
• You must not drive for 12 hours after the procedure, so it is recommended that a family member or friend accompany you.
• You must bring a referral from your family doctor or specialist, as well as a valid ID (passport or ID card).
• Do not eat solid food or drink colored liquids (juices, coffee with milk, etc.) before the examination.

When coming to the clinic, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. Leave jewelry, watches, and other valuables at home. You may bring personal hygiene items and wet wipes. Arrive at the clinic at the scheduled time to allow sufficient time for registration and preparation.

If you have any questions, contact the “Dr. Vilkoite’s Digestive Health Clinic” during business hours—our staff will provide advice and detailed information on the preparation steps and the use of bowel cleansing agents.
