Comparing nausea-prevention drugs after gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two different medication combinations to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
