Am due to have both of those procedures on 3rd of October and just wondered if taking the prep would put me in any danger re Adrenal Insuffiency Also should I increase Pred in preparation. On 4.5 mg at moment. Thank you all in advance for any advice.

It shouldn't do but ask the medical team what they advise. Don't increase in advance - I would think at most some extra on the day.
You may find this helpful but it is for patients undergoing Surgery as opposed to a Procedure
Daisy, when l had my Colonoscopy l had additional pre procedure - it was post Chemo so my brain was a bit battered at the time…..
It probably wasn't very much 5or10mg
Take some with you - just in case!
Good Luck 🍀
I was given hydrocortisone via an infusion during my recent Colonoscopy thereby protecting my Cortisol levels, I prompted this, so flag it up. Good luck. It’s a lot to have both procedures at once.
I have just had a colonoscopy & had it at 8am which meant I could have my pred with food after the procedure about an hour later. The day before I had it at the normal time which was several hours before that horrible laxative drink.
I didnt have any extra. I am on 5mg
Hi: I had both a colonoscopy and endoscopy performed at the same visit with no problems. If you have any medical conditions tell the doctors performing the tests. Good Luck. J.
