Do you need to take any medicines before an echocardiogram?
Most types of echocardiograms do not require you to take any medication. However, if you need a stress echocardiogram but cannot exercise, you may be given an injection to make your heart work harder. If you need a bubble contrast echocardiogram you will be given an injection of saline.
