Guide for judicious use of the paracetamol absorption technique in a study of gastric emptying rate of liquids

M Sanaka et al. J Gastroenterol. 1998 Dec.

Abstract

The paracetamol absorption technique, a widely used method for evaluating the gastric emptying rate of liquids, appears to be performed inappropriately, resulting from a lack of consideration of pharmacokinetics in paracetamol absorption. This review suggests that appropriate study designs and logical choice of the parameters for the rate of paracetamol absorption are the cornerstone of reliable investigation of gastric emptying using the paracetamol method.
