Abstract
Various agents may either enhance or impair post-prandial gall-bladder motility, and they are identified in this review. When studying the impact of medication on gall-bladder motility, the effects on interdigestive gall-bladder and intestinal motility should also be taken into account. Patients at high risk of gallstone disease, and patients who are treated chronically with gall-bladder motility inhibiting drugs, may benefit from improved gall-bladder motility using a prokinetic agent. However, there are no long-term studies to prove that such a strategy prevents gallstone formation.
