About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
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.
