Avoid Mix-Ups With Bowel Preps

April 2021

Ongoing shortages and a multitude of options will lead to more opportunities for mix-ups with bowel preps for colonoscopies.

Product selection. The "best" bowel prep often boils down to the patient's preference, medical conditions, and cost. Any option is effective...if patients can tolerate it and use it properly.

For example, PEG solutions that are sulfate-free, such as NuLytely or TriLyte, taste less salty than products such as GoLytely...don't smell like rotten eggs...and cost about $20.
