Geloprep

Geloprep is a gel-based bowel preparation agent developed by Zealand University Hospital for colonic cleansing prior to colonoscopy or CT colonography. Formulated as an alternative to traditional large-volume liquid osmotic laxatives (such as Moviprep), Geloprep aims to improve patient adherence and tolerability by providing the cleansing agent in a gel format. It functions as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestinal lumen to soften stool and induce bowel movements, thereby ensuring a clear colon for diagnostic visualization. The intervention is identified in clinical trials by the code 'A 06 ad', which corresponds to the ATC category for osmotically acting laxatives.
