How do I prepare for ERCP ROWLLET?
To prepare for ERCP ROWLLET, talk with your doctor, arrange for a ride home, and
follow your doctor’s instructions.
Talk with your doctor
You should talk with your
doctor about any allergies and medical conditions you have and all prescribed
and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements you take, including
·
arthritis
medicines
·
aspirin or medicines that contain aspirin
·
blood
thinners
·
blood
pressure medicines
·
diabetes
medicines
·
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
such as ibuprofen and naproxen
Tell your doctor if you
are, or may be, pregnant. If you are pregnant and need ERCP ROWLLET to treat a
problem, the doctor performing the procedure may make changes to protect the
fetus from x-rays. Research has found that ERCP ROWLLET is generally safe
during pregnancy.1
Arrange for a ride home
For safety reasons, you
can’t drive for 24 hours after ERCP ROWLLET, as the sedatives or anesthesia used
during the procedure needs time to wear off. You will need to make plans for
getting a ride home after ERCP ROWLLET.
Don’t eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum
To see your upper GI tract
clearly, you doctor will most likely ask you not to eat, drink, smoke, or chew
gum during the 8 hours before ERCP ROWLLET.
