A trial to compare efficacy and tolerability of Plenvu® and Picoprep® as cleansing agents of the large bowel before colonoscopy (examination of the bowel with a fiberoptic device)

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Aim of the study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the relatively new bowel preparation Plenvu® with the well established bowel preparation Picoprep® as cleansing agents before colonoscopy. This is to test whether the low volume Polyethylin Glycol-electrolytes lavage solution preparation Plenvu® would have non-inferior efficacy on bowel preparation compared with Picosulfate based Picoprep® with a better effect on compliance and tolerability.
