What does «colerético» mean in Spanish?
- Choleretic means any drug that stimulates the increased production of bile by the liver. The most effective choleretics are bile salts and bile acids. Also, to a lesser extent, coffee and some plant extracts are choleretic. Some compounds such as calomelanes, ammonium chloride, mucin, calcium gluconate and chondroitin, once thought to stimulate bile flow, have been shown to lack choleretic action.
