Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary

Low volume polyethylene glycol (PEG) plus ascorbic (PEG-Asc) has reduced the dosage of previous bowel preparation agent, but it still presents discomfort to patients. The aim of this study was to confirm the efficacy and convenience of volume reduction of PEG-Asc by adding bisacodyl suppository at the same day by compared with conventional 2L PEG-Asc.
