Abstract
Orally administered mannitol has been used for colonic preparation before operations, for colonoscopy, and before barium enema X-ray examinations. It is quick, effective, comfortable, safe, and cheap. The metabolic effects have been evaluated and found to be minimal, and recommendations for the use of orally administered mannitol are given.Keywords
