1.	Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption 03/01/1975 - "The combination of dextroamphetamines, biguanides and choleretics seems to be a good therapy for obese patients with carbohydrate intolerance, since the ponderary curve and carbohydrate tolerance improve. "
2.	Digestive System Diseases 05/01/2000 - "Based on the results of our study, we suggest two alternate courses of action in the presence of a distended gallbladder with an immobile ultrasonographic stellate or finely striated bile pattern: a cholecystectomy when clinical or biochemical signs of hepatobiliary disease are present or a medical treatment (antibiotics and choleretics) and patient monitoring by follow-up ultrasound examinations when the patient does not have clinical or biochemical abnormalities. "
3.	Biliary Atresia 07/01/2010 - "Surgical outcome in relation to duct size at the porta hepatis and the use of cholagogues in patients with biliary atresia." 11/01/2017 - "The overview of strategies for the management reported here is based on a systematic literature search published in English using accessible databases (PubMed, MEDLINE) with the keywords biliary atresia, choleretics and neonatal cholestasis. " 08/01/2007 - "The role of adjuvant therapy with corticosteroids and choleretics after Kasai portoenterostomy for biliary atresia (BA) remains uncertain. " 08/01/1993 - "Bile acids and prostaglandin are administered postoperatively in biliary atresia empirically as choleretics. "
4.	Jaundice (Icterus) 02/01/1997 - "This manifestation of cystic fibrosis in infants is suggested by prolonged jaundice unresponsive to choleretics, nondilated bile ducts and gallbladder on ultrasound, absent biliary excretion on nuclear scan, and characteristic liver biopsy. " 02/01/1997 - "From 1990 to 1995 three infants were identified with cystic fibrosis, persistent jaundice, and complete absence of biliary excretion despite expectant and conservative treatment including choleretics and surgical biliary irrigation. " 11/01/1990 - "A history of cholangitis, the presence of jaundice and the use of cholagogues were related to the postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding. " 08/01/1996 - "Our policies include 1) meticulous and accurate dissection and enteric anastomosis at the porta hepatic with the use of hepatic mobilization, 2) use of a complete external biliary fistula (Sawaguchi method), 3) use of an intussusception-type anti-reflux valve in the Roux-en-Y limb, 4) prompt reoperation if necessary, 5) prolonged use of antibiotics and choleretics, 6) in-patient care for as long as 3 months after hepatic portoenterostomy, etc. 19 of 21 patients, treated at National Children's Hospital and University of Tokyo, became jaundice-free, and we conclude that these policies mentioned above are necessary to keep the jaundice-free ratio at 90%, not at 70% which is the average ratio at all Japanese institutions."

Gallstones (Gallstone) 06/01/2006 - "Effects of choleretics on bile compositions drained from patients with pigment gallstone." 06/01/2006 - "To provide evidence for three-level prevention of cholelithiasis by means of observing the effects of some choleretics on bile compositions drained from patients with pigment gallstone. " 09/01/1975 - "This effect of lysine acetylsalicylate, and possibly of other bile salt-independent choleretics, may be of value in the treatment of cholesterol gallstones in man."
