In previous pharmacological experiments with the choleretic agent Febuprol, healthy subjects showed a significant increase in bile flow and its constituents in the acute experiment. As a consequence of these results we have carried out a double-blind cross-over therapeutic trial with Febuprol in 50 patients with a cholecystopathic symptom complex. After a 14 days' treatment (3 capsules daily) a significant improvement of the typical symptoms (feeling of fullness, pressure in the upper abdomen, meteorism, constipation, flatulence and nausea after food) was recorded in these patients. Moreover a significant lowering of the serum cholesterol level was noteworthy.
