Comparing two medicines for colonoscopy prep
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two bowel-cleansing medicines (sennosides vs. a combination of sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, and citric acid) to see which one works better for people getting a colonoscopy. It may help you have a cleaner colon for the procedure.
