GoLytely topped MiraLAX for bowel prep.(DIGESTIVE DISORDERS)Moon, Mary Ann
Here, we discuss a potential association between a polyethylene glycol 3350-based osmotic laxative, also known as MiraLAX, and bilateral anterior uveitis. We present a case of a 52-year-old gentleman with no significant medical history and a past ocular history of dry eye syndrome, who ...
MiraLAX-Gatorade bowel prep versus GoLytely before screening colonoscopy: an endoscopic database study in a community hospital. J Clin Gastroenterol. 2012;46(10): e96-e100.Shieh FK, Gunaratnam N, Mohamud SO, Schoenfeld P. MiraLAX Gatorade bowel prep versus GoLytely before screening colonoscopy...
There was no significant difference in the % of patients who reported their overall experience with the bowel prep as easy or acceptable (Mlax 85.7% vs. Go 76.4%, p= 0.359) nor in a patient's willingness to take the same bowel prep again (Mlax 96.4%, Go 82.4%, p=0.081). ...
Conclusions Golytely was more efficacious than MiraLAX in bowel cleansing, and was independently associated with both bowel prep quality (BBPS≥7) and higher adenoma detection. Golytely should be used as first line for bowel prep for colonoscopy. Studies with larger populations are needed to ...

ADR was defined as the proportion of colonoscopies with an adenoma. Bowel preparation quality was measured using the BBPS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. For multivariate analyses, covariates included age, gender, endoscopist, timing of colonoscopy, bowel prep quality, and BMI. ...
Conclusions Golytely was more efficacious than MiraLAX in bowel cleansing and was an independent risk factor for both bowel prep quality (BBPS ≥7) and adenoma detection. Therefore, Golytely should be used as first line for bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Despite the limited sample size of ...
