A member asked:
Which medications are available to treat gallstones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basically none, : Unless you are a poor surgical or anesthetic risk. There is a medication that is successful only when the gallbladder is still functional, you need to take it for up to 2 years, and has chemical hepatitis risk.
