Clinical trial: an efficacy evaluation of reduced bisacodyl given as part of a polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution preparation prior to colonoscopy

Abstract

Two-litre sulphate-free electrolyte lavage method solution with 10-mg bisacodyl is as effective as the 20-mg bisacodyl preparation for cleansing the colon prior to colonoscopy. The 10-mg bisacodyl regimen has an improved safety profile, with significantly reduced cramping, nausea and overall discomfort.
