Effectiveness of Bisacodyl Suppository Agent for Dose Reduction of Low Dose PEG

February 20, 2019 updated by: Eun Ran Kim, Samsung Medical Center

Simultaneous Combination of Bisacodyl Suppository Agent and 1L Polyethylene Glycol Plus Ascorbic Acid is Not Inferior and Comfortable Regimen Compared With 2L Polyethylene Glycol Plus Ascorbic Acid: A Randomized Controlled Study

Proper bowel cleansing before colonoscopy is an important factor to increase the detection rate of lesions. Low volume polyethylene glycol (PEG) plus ascorbic (PEG-Asc) has reduced the dosage of previous bowel preparation agent, but it still presents discomfort to patients. The aim of this study was to confirm the efficacy and convenience of volume reduction of PEG-Asc by adding bisacodyl suppository at the same day by compared with conventional 2L PEG-Asc.
