Comparing drinks for colonoscopy prep: Electrolyte beverages vs water
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether using electrolyte drinks instead of water to mix your colonoscopy prep medicine (sodium phosphate or polyethylene glycol) makes the prep easier or more effective. It may help you feel less bloated or nauseated during bowel preparation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining an electrolyte beverage (a drink with salts and minerals) with polyethylene glycol—a standard bowel-cleaning solution—helps prepare your colon better for colonoscopy. The goal is to see if this combination makes the preparation easier to tolerate while still cleaning your bowel effectively.
This study compares different ways of preparing your bowel for a colonoscopy (a test that looks inside your large intestine). It aims to find which method is easier to take and works better at cleaning the bowel, so you may have a more comfortable and effective procedure.
This trial compares two ways to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy: a 4-liter split-dose of a laxative plus two other medications versus a 2-liter split-dose with a gas-relief medication. The goal is to see which works better and is easier to tolerate.
This study is testing whether the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the water you drink while taking your bowel prep before a colonoscopy affects how well your colon is cleaned. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy and are willing to follow the required diet, this trial might help improve the quality of your preparation.
This study tests whether lactulose or sodium phosphate is better for cleaning the bowel before a colonoscopy. If you need a scheduled colonoscopy, this trial might help find which preparation works best.
This study tests a sodium phosphate powder for cleaning the bowel before a colonoscopy. It looks at how safe and effective it is for people in this age group.
