Core Tip	Fair bowel cleansing is a prerequisite for unobstructed visualization in colonoscopy. Since the gold standard self-managed preparation procedure and purgative agent-related complications can limit thorough cleansing, several adjunctive agents and methods have been developed. Clinical experience with these adjuncts have led to some being advocated by endoscopists as useful accessory drugs and to others being criticized for causing further adverse effects or providing insufficient additional benefit. In this article, we reviewed several of the agents that are currently used as colonic cleansing adjuncts and provide a subjective evaluation of their practical value based on their evidentiary strengths and drawbacks.
