Celebrex, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can increase the risk of bleeding during a colonoscopy due to its blood-thinning effects. Stopping the medication three days prior helps minimize this risk, ensuring a safer procedure and clearer visualization of the colon. This precaution is important for reducing potential complications and improving the accuracy of the examination. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding medication management before a colonoscopy.
