[Premedication for sonography. Enzyme-paractol in comparison with a placebo]

In a randomized double-blind comparative study involving a total of 50 patients divided into two equal groups, the effects of Enzym-Paractol and placebo on the ultrasonographic representation of internal organs in two planes--pancreatic and paraaortic--were compared. The visualizability was estimated as percentage figures, and revealed an improvement of about 15% for Enzym-Paractol as compared with placebo. With respect to undesired side effects, there was no difference between the two substances.
