DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-30192-1
Abstract: Premedication with simethicone before esophagogastroduodenoscopy improves mucosal visibility, but the appropriate dose remains unclear. This placebo-controlled trial compared 3 simethicone doses administered 15–30 min before esophagogastroduodenoscopy. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial (1 June 2024–31… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13063-021-05527-8
Abstract: Background Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is very useful in diagnosing and treating upper gastrointestinal mucosal disorders, but too much foam and water in stomach decrease its diagnostic efficiency. Simethicone administration can help remove excessive foam. Aims To determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0249490
Abstract: Background The optimal dose of simethicone before capsule endoscopy is unknown. Prior studies have reported inconsistent cleansing, with some showing improved visualization only in the proximal small intestine. We hypothesized a higher volume of simethicone… read more here.
