GLP-1 medications and colonoscopy prep quality
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special bowel preparation plan works better for people taking GLP-1 or GIP medications (like Ozempic, Mounjaro) before a colonoscopy. It aims to improve the quality of the bowel cleaning so doctors can see the colon more clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a scheduled outpatient colonoscopy (for screening, surveillance, or diagnosis).
- You take a GLP-1 or GIP agonist (like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.) at a stable dose for at least one month.
- You agree to follow the study's bowel preparation plan: a split-dose laxative (4 liters of polyethylene glycol + 15 mg bisacodyl), a low-residue diet for 3 days before, and clear liquids the day before.
- You do not have certain health conditions (like cirrhosis, Parkinson's, dementia, gastroparesis, or a history of poor bowel prep) that could affect prep quality.
- You are not using tricyclic antidepressants or opioids.

This study looks at whether stopping GLP-1 receptor agonists (a type of diabetes or weight-loss medication) before a colonoscopy can help improve the procedure. It compares how well the bowel is cleaned in people who stop these drugs for a certain time versus those who continue them.
This study tests a personalized, non-drug method to improve bowel preparation for colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy and need to take laxatives, this approach might help you get better results.
This trial is testing whether stopping GLP-1 receptor agonists or tirzepatide one week before an upper endoscopy (a scope that looks at your stomach and esophagus) is safe and effective. It's designed for people who are already taking these medications and have an upcoming procedure.
This study looks at what factors might make it harder to clean out your bowel before a colonoscopy. Understanding these reasons could help doctors give better instructions and improve success rates.
This study is testing a new way to prepare for colonoscopy that works better for people with diabetes. The goal is to find a preparation method that is safer and easier for diabetic patients before their screening.
This study looks at whether pausing GLP-1 agonist medications (like Ozempic or Trulicity) for two weeks before an upper endoscopy can reduce the chance of food staying in the stomach during the procedure. It may help people who take these diabetes medicines and need a routine endoscopy.
