Core Tip	DWJ1609 is a next generation bowel preparation tablet that reduces sulfate content by 75% while maintaining excellent cleansing efficacy. In a phase III randomized trial, it significantly improved tolerability—particularly nausea and headache—without compromising safety. This patient-centered formulation may enhance adherence to colorectal cancer screening and represents a meaningful evolution in bowel preparation strategies.
