Sincalide (Kinevac) is a cholecystagogue, which means it stimulates contraction of the gallbladder and release of bile. It is used as part of a diagnostic procedure, such as a cholecystogram, to assess gallbladder function and diagnose gallbladder disease. Dipyridamole (Persantine) is a medication used to prevent blood clots and treat heart conditions. Edrophonium (Tensilon) is a medication used to diagnose myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disorder. Protirelin (Thypinone) is a medication used to diagnose and treat certain thyroid disorders. None of these medications are used in the diagnosis of gallbladder disease.
