  schema:description "If you take a blood thinner or a drug like aspirin or clopidogrel, tell the team well before an endoscopy or colonoscopy. For a simple look with small biopsies most people carry on, perhaps missing one morning dose. For riskier procedures, such as removing polyps, the team will say which drug to stop, for how long, and when to restart. Never stop a heart or clot medicine on your own."@en ;
