What is Polyethylene Glycol Electrolytes Ascorbic Acid
Polyethylene Glycol Electrolytes Ascorbic Acid are used together for bowel evacuation and cleaning before colonoscopy.
PEG 3350-electrolytes solutions have been used medicinally for decades. Compared to other PEG 3350-electrolyte solutions for bowel prep, PEG; electrolytes, and ascorbic acid has the additional ingredients of ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate, but no sodium bicarbonate.
Polyethylene glycol compounds exhibit practically no systemic absorption from the intestine at molecular masses exceeding 3000, and thus act as osmotic laxatives.
Electrolytes are added to the solution to maintain water and electrolyte balance in most patients, even after administration of large volumes.
Ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate potentiate the osmotic action of polyethylene glycol, resulting in less volume needed for adequate bowel cleansing.
Moviprep is administered either as a split dose (2-day) method or day before (1-day) method.
Plenvu is administered either as a split dose (2-day) method or morning of (1-day) method.
