Split-Dosing: New Bowel Prep Guideline is Going Mainstream
Earlier this year, the American College of Gastroenterology revised its colorectal cancer screening guidelines for the first time in eight years, and one of the most noticeable changes was its recommendation to split the dose of bowel preps. The new guideline goes against years of practice for gastroenterologists, many of whom have yet to adopt the new "split dosing" guidelines. In years past, doctors had patients take all of the bowel preparation prescription the day before the colonoscopy. |
