First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving simethicone (a defoaming agent) and dicyclomine (a muscle relaxant) before or during ERCP improves how well doctors can see and work. 90 adults were split into three groups: one got no extra drugs, one got simethicone before the procedure, and one got it during. The goal was to reduce bubbles and gut contractions, making the procedure faster and easier. Results could help standardize pre-procedure care.
