Yes, it should have done its job by the time the colonoscopy is scheduled for.

But please check. Your doctor or whoever is doing the procedure will normally have given you a program to prepare for a colonoscopy. This usually involves a special 'low residue' diet for a few days, ending with clear fluids like jello and consomme the day before the procedure. Included in the preparatory program you should find special laxatives.

Don't take the bisacodyl if you have been following such a program, as you will have too much laxative and it can affect the special salts in the body called electrolytes.

What kind of popcicles can you eat before a colonoscopy?

Before a colonoscopy, it's best to stick to clear liquids, so you can eat popsicles that are free of any solid pieces or pulp. Options like plain lemon, lime, or orange popsicles without added colors or flavors are usually recommended. Always avoid red, purple, or blue popsicles, as these colors can mimic blood and interfere with the procedure. It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's specific guidelines regarding dietary restrictions before the exam.
