FDA has approved Sebela Pharmaceuticals’ Suflave (polyethylene glycol, sodium sulfate, potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and sodium chloride for oral solution) for colonoscopy preparation in adults. The company [says](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjqo8nD2df%5FAhUJk4kEHdUEC4IQFnoECA4QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prnewswire.com%2Fnews-releases%2Ffda-approves-sebela-pharmaceuticals-suflave-a-new-colonoscopy-preparation-that-tastes-similar-to-a-sports-drink-301858251.html&usg=AOvVaw18ZR2aUWeeNivDqqeHDTdR&opi=89978449) Suflave is a low-volume, safe and effective colonoscopy preparation with a taste similar to a lemon-lime sports drink that was developed and will be marketed by Braintree Laboratories.

Sebela says that in a head-to-head test with its Suprep bowel prep kit, 94% of patients achieved successful bowel cleaning with Suflave and the majority reported that Suflave tastes like a sports drink. Some 79% found the taste neutral to very pleasant compared to Suprep. Further, Sebela says, 87% of patients found Suflave tolerable to very easy to consume, and 80% of patients reported they would ask for it for a subsequent colonoscopy.
