A member asked:
What type of medications need to be stopped prior to a hida scan? for how long? what type of food to eat or not to eat before a hida scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narcotics. : Narcotics may give a false answer and show a blockage that may not be there without them. Having said that, most patients are taking some pain meds when a hida is done. So this is taken into account. Most imaging centers will want you to. Not eat for a few hours before the test
