Brief Answer:
yes you can

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I have read your query.
And yes, you can take the tablet before colonoscopy.
However, it depends on the reason why you are taking the tablet.
And the reason why colonoscopy is done.
I am unaware of that from your query.
But the medicine has no side effects that will hamper the performance of a colonoscopy.
I hope that helps.
Best of luck
Dr Mittal
