In a consecutive series of 148 patients the gallbladder emptying in oral cholecystography was investigated after administration of ceruletide given in doses of 0.3 microgram/kg body weight intramuscularly and 0.03 and 0.05 microgram/kg intravenously. No essential side effects occurred. The effect of ceruletide seems to be on a par with that of cholecystokinin. A dose of 0.3 microgram/kg was found to be sufficient to assess the gallbladder emptying, but then in a few instances the emptying is delayed--up to one hour. The bile ducts are best demonstrated after intravenous administration of 0.05 microgram/kg.
