Summary
Adequate quality of bowel preparation(BP) is essential for colonoscopy. In recently, Kang
suggested that for low-risk patients, single dose of 2L PEG is an effective regimen for bowel
preparation.However, due to the poor palatability, there still more than 30% patients with 2L
regimen experienced nausea or vomiting in our center.
Oral lactulose is a treatment for constipation. Several studies have compared the
effectiveness between use PEG and lactulose for colonoscopy preparation in average-risk
patients. However, the data in low-risk patients is vacant. The objective of current study
