A member asked:

Hoping you can tell me, is gallbladder problem a symptom of drug addiction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Gallbladder problems are not caused by drug addiction. Certain narcotics may aggravate existing gallbladder issues by causing contraction of the sphincter of oddi which assists in the emptying of the gallbladder.
