Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Magnesium Sulfate With Low-volume Polyethylene Glycol for Colonoscopy Cleansing

December 8, 2024 updated by: Changhai Hospital

Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Magnesium Sulfate With Low-volume Polyethylene Glycol for Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy: A Multicentre, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Magnesium salts such as magnesium citrate are often combined with polyethylene glycol to make the intestinal preparation before colonoscopy, which has shown high cleaning efficacy. Magnesium sulfate combined with polyethylene glycol is less used in the world. This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial is aimed at to evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate combined with low-volume polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 1L PEG + 50g Magnesium sulfate (Group A)
Take 50g magnesium sulfate and 1L polyethylene glycol for bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Subjects in Group A will use a regimen combining magnesium sulfate and polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation and undergo colonoscopy. 1 litter of polyethylene glycol is taken at 8pm the day before the colonoscopy and 50 gram of magnesium sulfate is taken 4-6 hours before the colonoscopy, and then drink 2000 ml of water within 2 hours.
Active Comparator: 3L PEG alone (Group B)
Take 3L polyethylene glycol for bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Subjects in Group B will use a regimen with 3L polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation and undergo colonoscopy. The 3 liters of polyethylene glycol solution is taken in split dosing, with 1 liter taken at 8pm the day before the colonoscopy and 2 liters taken 4-6 hours before the colonoscopy.
Active Comparator: 4L PEG alone (Group C)
Take 4L polyethylene glycol for bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Subjects in Group C will use a regimen with 4L polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation and undergo colonoscopy. The 4 liters of polyethylene glycol solution is taken in split dosing, with 2 liters taken at 8pm the day before the colonoscopy and 2 liters taken 4-6 hours before the colonoscopy.
