GASTRO-CONRAY DOES NOT ALTER RESTING LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER PRESSURE IN NORMAL HUMAN-SUBJECTS SOUTH AFRICAN MEDICAL JOURNAL BROCKUTNE, J. G., DIMOPOULOS, G. E., Downing, J. W., MOSHAL, M. G. 1982; 61 (1): 22-23

Abstract

The effect of ingestion of 60 ml sodium iothalamate (Gastro-Conray; Maybaker)--a radiographic contrast medium--on resting lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) pressure was studied in 10 normal human volunteers. Compared with a barium meal, which does cause a fall in LOS pressure, Gastro-Conray did not affect the sphincter tone. The importance of this is discussed.
