Gastroscopy
Gastroscopy - Medication

Text

The patient can continue to take any important medications that his physician has prescribed. Simply take them with a small sip of water at least two hours before your appointment. This allows time for the tablets

to dissolve completely. Antacids should not be taken on the day of the test. Smoking should be avoided as tobacco changes the normal color of the stomach lining.
