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:
Preparation for Patients with Kidney Disease and Dialysis (Halflytely) PREPARATION FOR YOUR COLONOSCOPY. 5 DAYS PRIOR to your procedure STOP TAKING blood thinners (Coumdain, Plavix, Ticlid, Agrylin). Be certain that you take all heart and high blood pressure medication (EXCEPT aspirin or thinners) the morning of the procedure with a sip of water.
