Sodium taurocholate, ineffective as an adjuvant in oral cholecystography.
The effect of 6 g sodium taurocholate on the visualization of the gall bladder with calcium iopodate (Solu-Biloptin, Leiras, Schering AG) was studied on 140 patients with a control group of 99 patients. The administration of sodium taurocholate with a contrast medium did not improve the opacification of the gall bladder in oral cholecystography with calcium iopodate but induced a significant increase in side effects.
