Condition(s) targeted: Preparation for Colonoscopy
Intervention: Gatorade/Miralax (Drug); NuLytely (Drug); Bisacodyl (Drug); Placebo (Drug)
Phase: Phase 4
Status: Completed

Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare Nulytely (or Trilyte) with a Gatorade and Miralax
combination for cleaning out the colon before colonoscopy. A laxative pill called Bisacodyl
may also be used with the Gatorade and Miralax to see if it helps with the clean out
process. We are trying to find out if either of these methods is more acceptable to the
patient and does a better job cleaning out the colon for a colonoscopy.
