| Core Tip |
Colonoscopy is an essential tool in the screening for and preventing colon cancer, but inadequate colon preparation limits visualization, prolongs procedure time, and, affects exam quality. An antifoaming agent, simethicone, has been a promising addition to bowel preparation. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials assessed the effect of its addition to commonly utilized bowel preparations and analyzed the optimum effective dose. We concluded that the addition of simethicone to bowel preparation significantly reduced inadequate bowel preparation, increased adenoma detection rate and trended to improved tolerability of the prep. Higher doses of simethicone were more likely to achieve those outcomes. |
