Simethicone colonoscopy prep for cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a colonoscopy preparation drink that contains simethicone (a gas-relief ingredient) to see if it works better than standard prep for people who are already scheduled for a screening colonoscopy after a positive stool test. It may help make the procedure more comfortable and effective.
