Comparing two ways to give simethicone before colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving a medication called simethicone (which helps reduce bubbles in the bowel) before a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which method works better for giving the doctor a clear view during the procedure.
