Interventions

DRUG

PicoPrep

PICOPREP (sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide and citric acid) powder for oral solution consisted of 2 pouches of powder administered in a divided dose. Each PICOPREP pouch was reconstituted by mixing the contents in a cup with 5 ounces of cold water. The first pouch was taken between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM the evening prior to the colonoscopy procedure. Subjects were to consume five (5) 8-ounce glasses of clear liquids over the next few hours. The second pouch was taken approximately 5 hours before but no more than 9 hours prior to the colonoscopy procedure. Subjects were to consume three (3) 8-ounce glasses of clear liquids.

DRUG

HalfLytely

HalfLytely contains polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution (PEG-EL), sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride. The day prior to the colonoscopy procedure and after the first bowel movement or after 6 hours following administration of the bisacodyl tablets, whichever occurred first, subjects were to drink the 2 liter HalfLytely at a rate of one 8-ounce glass every 10 minutes. The entire solution was to be consumed.

DRUG

Two 5 mg bisacodyl tablets were taken in the afternoon on the day prior to the colonoscopy procedure.
