RESUMO

Background and study aims: colonoscopy is the cornerstone of diagnosing colonic diseases. Investigators have evaluated the effectiveness of antispasmodic agents in colonoscopy with conflicting evidence. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of enteric coated peppermint oil capsules [Colpermin®], an antispasmodic agent, on outcomes during colonoscopy


Patients and methods: a total of 80 patients undergoing elective colonoscopy were recruited and randomized in a double blinded fashion to receive either placebo or peppermint oil capsules administered 4 h prior to the procedure


Results: peppermint oil capsules did not affect caecal intubation time when compared with placebo. Patients' tolerance, endoscopist's satisfaction and demand on sedation were also not affected


Conclusion: this randomized controlled trial does not support the routine use of peppermint oil capsules prior to colonoscopy as a tool for procedure optimization, and patients' and endoscopist's satisfaction
