Summary
Sodium phosphate is one of the bowel preparation regimens for colonoscopy. However,
intraluminal gas can impair visibility during the examination. Simethicone is medication that
works by reducing the surface tension of air bubbles. We aimed to evaluate the effect of
simethicone in enhancing visibility and efficacy during colonoscopy.
