Medications for treating gallstones include Danshitong Capsules, Danle Capsules, and Ursodeoxycholic Acid Capsules. Danshitong Capsules have effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, resolving dampness, and dissolving stones, and can be used to treat gallstones, especially showing good efficacy for suppurative gallstones. Danle Capsules are a traditional Chinese medicine composed of mint essential oil, which has functions of soothing the liver and promoting bile secretion, regulating qi to relieve pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting bile flow to expel stones. They can be used to treat chronic calculous cholecystitis, gallstones, and other related conditions. Ursodeoxycholic Acid Capsules primarily contain ursodeoxycholic acid, which promotes bile secretion and helps alleviate bile stasis. This medication may be effective for cholesterol gallstones.
