Preparation for a Gastroscopy

To prepare for a gastroscopy, it is recommended that your evening meal the day before the examination consists of easy-to-digest foods, such as mashed potatoes or steamed broccoli.

Here are some key guidelines to follow:

• Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages.
• Your last meal should be completed by 18:00 the day before the examination.
• Ensure your dinner is substantial but free of hard-to-digest foods.
• Do not eat or drink anything prior to the examination.
• You may drink a small amount of water no later than 2-4 hours before the examination.
• Delay taking any medications in capsule or tablet form.

If you have a history of allergies, especially to medications, please inform your doctor.

If you have undergone prior research or received inpatient treatment related to this issue, it is advisable to bring any relevant medical reports and results.

To undergo the examination under a government order or insurance, you must coordinate compensation with the appropriate department; otherwise, the procedure will be available only on a paid basis.
