A clean colon is required for a colonoscopy to be effective. Therefore, patients undergo a bowel preparation in advance of the procedure to clear the colon. Typically, this involves drinking 2 litres of polyethylene glycol or macrogol (PEG) solution, but dislike of the taste or having to drink such a large volume causes some patients not to adhere to this regimen. To address this, a PEG solution has been developed that requires patients to drink only 1 litre of bowel preparation in two flavours. The hope is this will increase patient adherence.
结肠镜检查需要结肠清洁。因此，患者在进行检查前会进行肠道准备以清除结肠。通常，这包括饮用 2 升聚乙二醇或大分子聚乙二醇（PEG）溶液，但由于不喜欢味道或必须饮用如此大量的溶液，一些患者无法坚持这种方案。为了解决这个问题，开发了一种 PEG 溶液，患者只需饮用两种口味的 1 升肠道准备液。希望这将增加患者的依从性。
