Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Magnesium Sulfate With Low-volume Polyethylene Glycol for Colonoscopy Cleansing

Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Magnesium Sulfate With Low-volume Polyethylene Glycol for Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy: A Multicentre, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Magnesium salts such as magnesium citrate are often combined with polyethylene glycol to make the intestinal preparation before colonoscopy, which has shown high cleaning efficacy. Magnesium sulfate combined with polyethylene glycol is less used in the world. This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial is aimed at to evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate combined with low-volume polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation for colonoscopy.
