About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effect of Dexamethasone and Dexmedetomidine and Their Combination on Post op. GIT Function Measured by I-FFED Score Post Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

What medical problems do participants have when taking Dexamethasone and Dexmedetomidine? Researchers will compare Dexamethasone and Dexmedetomidine and Their Combination to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see the effect on Post op. GIT Function Measured by I-FFED Score Post Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Participants will receive Dexamethasone 8 mg IV + Saline IV (total volume 10 ml) over 10 minutes administered after induction of anesthesia.

Participants will receive Dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg /kg IV + Saline IV (total volume 10 ml) over 10 minutes administered after induction of anesthesia.
