Previous studies have compared the use of anticholinergic drugs and
glucagon
for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) radiography. Many radiologists prefer
glucagon
because these comparisons showed it to have a shorter duration of action with fewer side effects.
L-Hyoscyamine
is the levo-rotatory form of atropine with minor adverse side effects. This study compared the effects of
glucagon
(N = 48), L-hyoscyamine (N = 43), and placebo (N = 45) on gastric and duodenal distension, mucosal coating, and patient tolerance.
L-Hyoscyamine
provided gastric and duodenal images equal in quality to
glucagon
. Except for the more frequent reporting of dry mouth with L-hyoscyamine, side effects were not different among the groups.
L-Hyoscyamine
is an economical alternative to
glucagon
for hypotonic gastrointestinal radiography.
