Does Intake Of Fish Oil Before Colonoscopy Alter The Results?
I m having a colonoscopy on Thursday, and I m also taking fish oil for my dry eyes. I noticed on my paperwork tonight that I should have stopped taking the fish oil 6 days ago. If I stop taking fish oil immediately (today is Sunday) is it safe for me to have my colonoscopy on Thursday, or should I reschedule the colonoscopy to a later date?

Hello
No problem here. If you stop on Sunday it won't interfere with your colonoscopy at all. No need to reschedule
