Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine optimal time intervals for preparation before colonoscopy using different formulas.
Detailed Description
Different formulas are used for bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Present guidelines are based on conventional polyethylene glycol. Their validity for other preparations were not evaluated. Relationship between length of preparation, interval to colonoscopy and bowel preparation quality, tolerance are assessed.
