Can Chlorthalidone Be Taken Before A Colonoscopy?
I am scheduled for a colonoscopy at 10:30 a.m. and they want me to take my high blood pressure medicine. I know Losartan Potassium 100MG is one but wasn t sure if I needed to take the Chlorthalidone 25MG that was prescribed also to take the swelling out of my legs. The second is a water pill but after doing the two day prep all that keeps coming out is water so wasn t sure I needed to take this also this morning. Concerned I might get dehydrated.
