Hi,
If you are suppose to go under the abdominal endoscopy then there should be empty intestine, if this is so then no need to take any pill of Dulcolex, else one has to take the Dulcolex, it is nothing to worry if you some complaints that are contraindicated for Dulcolex, you need not to worry because surgeon will take of this, and here is my advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
