Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery crossed the North American continent from 1804 to 1806, traveling from St. Louis, Missouri to the Pacific coast and back.
Now they want me to undrego a colonoscopy in three weeks to rule out any problems in the large bowel but the problem with this is they have to stop the plavix and aspirin for five days prior to the procedure which I think is taking a risk from all the stuff I have been reading. My questions are:
Never stop taking any medication without first consulting your doctor. You may need to take antibiotics before the colonoscopy if you: 1  Have an artificial heart valve. 2  Have ever been told you need to take antibiotics before a dental or surgical procedure.he colonoscopy is performed by a doctor experienced in the procedure and lasts approximately 30-60 minutes. Medications will be given into your vein to make you feel relaxed and drowsy. You will be asked to lie on your left side on the examining table.
