The use of Pro-Banthine to induce gastrointestinal hypotonia.
Immediate and satisfactory gastrointestinal hypotonia was induced in 48 patients with 5--10 mg of intravenous Pro-Banthine during radiographic examination; side-effects were minimal. If given intravenously in small doses, Pro-Banthine is a satisfactory alternative when glucagon is contraindicated or not available.
