A colonoscopy is a test to check inside your bowels.
This test can help find what's causing your bowel symptoms.
A long, thin, flexible tube with a small camera inside it is passed into your bottom.
You'll be given a laxative so your bowels are empty for the test.
Important
You're usually awake during a colonoscopy. You'll be offered medicine to make you more comfortable and make the test easier.

I had my vaccination done there. No waiting time, and the pharmacist was very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

Usually have to drop my prescription off because they don’t have it immediately so they have to order it, but they always have it by the next day. They are fast for the most part for the amount of customers they have. They are nice and courteous. I’m from the US and thought using the UK system would be a bit difficult but it’s been pretty seamless.
