Article Synopsis
- l-Menthol (LM) is a safe antispasmodic agent used during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but it may alter endoscopic findings of gastric lesions.
- A study involving 98 patients assessed the effects of LM versus a placebo, finding significant mucosal changes in the LM group compared to the placebo group.
- Results indicated that LM caused more pronounced changes in atrophic gastric mucosa and helped to better define gastric lesions, though it did not significantly affect the overall incidence of these lesions.
