Philip N. Okafor, MD, MPH discusses the recent AJG article “A Safety and Efficacy Comparison of a New Sulfate-Based Tablet Bowel Preparation Versus a PEG and Ascorbate Comparator in Adult Subjects Undergoing Colonoscopy.” This RCT compares SUTAB®, a sodium sulfate tablet bowel preparation, to MoviPrep®.
