Abstract

The choice of bowel preparation for colonoscopy is influenced by cleansing effectiveness, safety, ease of administration and completion, adverse effects, patient tolerance, and cost. Currently, PEG-ELS and NaP are the most frequently used preparations in the United States. Recent action by the FDA highlights emerging safety concerns for NaP preparations. The selection of a bowel-cleansing regimen should be tailored to the individual patient based on clinical comorbidities and informed patient preference.
