| Magnesium sulfate |
Magnesium sulfate is a saline purgative. It can be employed locally in various inflammatory conditions, due to its osmotic action. |
|
| Sincalide |
Sincalide is a cholecystopancreatic-gastrointestinal hormone peptide for parenteral administration. The agent is a synthetically-prepared C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin. When injected intravenously, sincalide stimulates gallbladder contraction and reduction in size. The evacuation of bile that results is similar to that which occurs physiologically in response to endogenous cholecystokinin. Sincalide also stimulates pancreatic secretion and intestinal motility causing pyloric contraction and slows gastric emptying. |
