I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Bowel Cleansing for Colonoscopy:
Efficacy and Safety Considerations for
Developing New Products.’’ The
purpose of this guidance is to provide
FDA’s current thinking regarding the

development of products for bowel
cleansing in preparation for a
colonoscopy.
This draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the current thinking of FDA
on ‘‘Bowel Cleansing for Colonoscopy:
Efficacy and Safety Considerations for
Developing New Products.’’ It does not
establish any rights for any person and
is not binding on FDA or the public.
You can use an alternative approach if
it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.

considerations of drugs and for the
submission of marketing applications in
21 CFR part 314 have been approved
under OMB control number 0910–0001.
The collections of information for the
submission of data or information,
