Adequate bowel preparation is essential before a colonoscopy, allowing us to make a proper examination of the entire mucosa. The ideal method of colon cleansing should be fast, safe, and get a proper cleaning with minimal discomfort for the patient. Today we have a wide variety of colon cleansing products, information sometimes becomes confused. A good colon preparation depends partly on correct choice of the same, but also upon dietary restriction. Knowledge of all these products, with their advantages and limitations, we can make a better selection for each patient, and although the efficacy is comparable, is the experience of the browser, patient preferences, and the degree of compliance with the instructions preparation, which greatly influence the results.

In an effort to improve patient tolerability and adherence, reduced-volume 2-L polyethylene glycol-ascorbic acid (PEG-AA) and electrolyte lavage solutions (ELSs) are now available, with ascorbic acid acting as an additional cathartic and flavoring agent.…”

“…One study using PEG-3350 in a community setting resulted in good-quality bowel preparations and patient tolerability (14). Subsequent studies compared PEG-3350+SD with 4-L PEG-ELS, some concluding PEG-3350 as a non-inferior bowel preparation (15)(16)(17), while others showed higher quality preparations with 4-L PEG-ELS (10,18). There have been no head-tohead comparative trials of PEG-3350+SD+B vs. PEG-AA.…”
