Core Tip
Core Tip: At present, intestinal cleansers commonly used in clinical practice are not yet able to fully meet their ideal requirements including efficacy, safety, affordability, better patient tolerance and acceptance. In our research, the “qualified’ bowel preparation rate achieved with sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was 93.55%, whereas the “excellent’ rate was 67.74%. Age and a personal history of constipation are independent risk factors that affect the optimal bowel preparation rate. Furthermore, we performed a statistical analysis on defecation. The results showed a low incidence of adverse reactions and good palatability, thereby improving the overall bowel preparation experience and subsequent patient compliance.
