Can you lie down and sleep after drinking electrolyte?

Not recommended. Generally, you can't lie down and sleep immediately after drinking electrolyte, because the medicine has not yet exerted its efficacy. Electrolyte, also known as polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, is mainly used to treat functional constipation, and can also be used as a drug to clean the intestine before colonoscopy, which can make patients empty their feces for colonoscopy. Generally speaking, you can sleep after drinking electrolyte powder, but it is not recommended to lie down and sleep immediately, because some patients have strong gastrointestinal peristalsis and too fast gastrointestinal peristalsis, and they can defecate within 30 minutes after drinking electrolyte powder, so it is recommended to sleep 30 minutes after drinking electrolyte powder.
