EXCRETORY UROGRAPHY IN PATIENTS PREPARED BY SIMETHICON (ESPUMISAN Â® ) Espumisan Â® is one of the final preparations for oral administration that eliminates gases from the gastrointestinal tract.

Espumisan Â® works by dissolving gas bubbles in the chyme, which are then absorbed through the intestinal tract wall or eliminated in the form of gas fluid.
Adult Excretory Urogram (I.V.P., Intravenous Pyelogram) For your convenience you may wish to print this page and write in the time and location of your appointment. If you have any questions or concerns about the test please give us a call at (650) 853-2955. An excretory urogram is an x-ray examination of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. A substance dissolved in water will be injected into a vein by the radiologist. This is then filtered out of the blood stream by the kidneys, passing through the kidneys into the bladder to be eliminated in the urine.
