Abstract |
A double blind controlled trial to determine the effect of mebeverine (Colofac) pre-medication on the incidence of spasm, pain and discomfort during examination of the colon by double contrast barium enema was carried out. There was a significant reduction in spasm on fluoroscopy and reported pain and discomfort in the mebeverine group. The number of segments of spasm on the radiographs was not significantly reduced.
