Abstract
The paracetamol absorption technique, a widely used method for evaluat ing the gastric emptying rate of liquids, appears to be performed inap propriately, resulting from a lack of consideration of pharmacokinetic s in paracetamol absorption. This review suggests that appropriate stu dy designs and logical choice of the parameters for the rate of parace tamol absorption are the cornerstone of reliable investigation of gast ric emptying using the paracetamol method.
