Comparing two laxatives for colonoscopy preparation
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different laxatives (prucalopride and bisacodyl) to see which one works better for cleaning out your bowels before a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, this study may help improve the experience and make the procedure more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
