ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different ways of giving a medication called simethicone can help reduce gas bubbles during bowel preparation for a colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is a procedure doctors use to check for issues in the colon. The goal of the study is to find the easiest and most effective method for patients to prepare for this important test.

The trial is open to adults aged 18 to 80 who are scheduled for a routine colonoscopy and do not have any serious health issues or allergies related to the treatment. If you choose to participate, you will try out one of the methods for taking simethicone and see how well it works in reducing gas. It’s important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it will be an opportunity to contribute to better colonoscopy preparation methods in the future.
