Supplement × Prescription·Evidence index
PubMed indexes 8 records that name Polyethylene Glycol and Vitamin C together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. The key findings come first, in the authors’ own words, followed by every study with its design and PubMed link.
A summary of published research, not medical advice. A pharmacist can check any combination against your full list of medicines and supplements.
Reviews and human studies first. Each quote is the authors’ own conclusion about their study, not a NutriStack assessment, and a single study is not a consensus.
“Low-volume PEG plus ascorbic acid gut lavage achieved non-inferior efficacy for bowel cleansing, is more acceptable to patients, and has fewer side effects than standard-volume PEG as a bowel preparation method for colonoscopy.”
“Conclusions: As for bowel preparation before colonoscopy, 2 L PEG ascorbic acid with split dose should be optimally prescribed. Further studies investigating the comparative efficacy of 2 L PEG related to 4 L PEG, 4 L PEG with split dose, and 2 L PEG plus ascorbic acid with split dose, respectively are needed.”
“The novel 0.8-L PEG-ascorbic acid solution was effective, safe, and highly tolerable, showing noninferiority to the 2-L PEG-ascorbic acid solution. The same-day regimen showed a tendency toward better cleansing efficacy in the ascending colon and higher patient satisfaction.”
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
Names both Polyethylene Glycol and Vitamin C in its title.

“The rates of bubbles in each segment were examined by BBS-C, and good bowel preparation was a risk factor for proximal severe bubbles. There was no significant difference regarding severe bubbles between OSS and PEG.”
Names both Polyethylene Glycol and Vitamin C in its title.

“in our real-life setting, 1-L PEG + ASC offered better adequate and HQ bowel cleansing than SPMC, achieving excellent cleansing quality, regardless of gender or tolerance.”
Names both Polyethylene Glycol and Vitamin C in its title.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Polyethylene Glycol, Vitamin C, and several hundred other substances.
Log your routine, get reminders at the times you choose, and scan a label to add a product. The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
