Hi
I'm going in for a colonoscopy is it ok to take a diazepam at nighttime to help me sleep. I'm taking moviprep the day before which says there is no interaction.
Thank you
Lee
Can you take a diazepam before a colonoscopy?

Before a colonoscopy you can take your medications. For the procedure they use a general anesthesia. They just want the colon to be cleaned out. Don’t know if it’s your first but it’s no worries. You just turn on your side, take a nap, and wake up feeling nothing if it’s like what mine was. Hope this helped and have a clean bill of health.
