No Such Pill 4 Both: The standard rx for symptomatic gallstones is gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), since dissolution therapy (lithotripsy, actigall) will only temporize matters--the stones will return as long as you still have a gallbladder. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to burning fat cells--diet and exercise are the only effective ways to accomplish that.

Surgery option: Gallstones can't easily be dissolved. The advanced of laparoscopy make gallbladder surgery an outpt procedure with low risk of complication. So if you suffer from gallbladder disease, i recommend seeing a general surgeon for possible gallbladder removal.
