Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I usually starts Cipro 2 or 3 days prior to the ERCP. Then it will be included in the IV at the start of the procedurevas Arne has mentioned. And for 7 or 10 more days, orally post it. But i would like to mention that i think inspite of Cipro, i did get Pancreatitus once or twice, at least. But it does make feel more comfortable with taking it than without. About the nuasea, Cipro does give me some nuasea that is not only associated with an ERCP but also when i take it at home for a cholangitis infection. And with the latest, the nuasea might be due to both Cipro and the cholangitis. --- CholangitisSuprt@... wrote: > I know that they administer abx during the > procedure. > > > RE: Post ERCP Abx > > > > > > > Sorry - can't help, I've taken antibiotics all three > times.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Antibiotics will not prevent pancreatitis - its an inflammatory response vs. bacterial. This article (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/521049) suggests numerous factors, some of them dependent on the patient, some on the endoscopist.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks, Arne. I haven't read the article, yet. I want to find out what does the " dysfunction " of sphinicter of oddi, means. By the way, what does " PD " , means? --- A & J M wrote: > Antibiotics will not prevent pancreatitis - its an > inflammatory response vs. > bacterial.
