COLOVIEW 15ML

About

COLOVIEW 15ML is a diagnostic agent specifically formulated to optimize visualization during colonoscopy. Similar to other contrast or bowel preparation adjuncts, it aims to improve the clarity of the colonic mucosa, either by acting as a negative contrast agent to distend the lumen or by coating the bowel wall to highlight abnormalities. This enhanced imaging capability is vital for the accurate detection of polyps, inflammatory changes, and other lesions that might otherwise be missed, thereby improving the diagnostic yield of the procedure.

Administered orally as part of a comprehensive bowel preparation regimen, COLOVIEW is designed to be safe, minimally absorbed, and effectively cleared from the gastrointestinal tract. Adherence to the prescribed preparation protocol, including dietary restrictions and fluid intake, is essential to achieve a clean colon and ensure a successful and thorough colonoscopic examination.
