Morphine weakens the effects of gnomecromone. When taken concomitantly with metoclopramide, the effects of both drugs are reduced. It enhances the effects of indirect anticoagulants. If you are taking any of the above medications or other medications (including over-the-counter medications), consult your doctor before using odecromone.

Pharmacodynamics

A choleretic agent. Hymecromone is a coumarin derivative. It increases bile production and secretion and accelerates its flow through the biliary tract. It has a selective antispasmodic effect on the bile ducts and sphincter of Oddi (without reducing gastrointestinal motility or blood pressure). It reduces bile stasis, preventing cholesterol crystallization and thereby gallstone formation.

Dosage form

angular, flat-cylindrical tablets from almost white to white in colour with bevelled edges on both sides and a score line on one side.

Pharmacokinetics

When administered orally, it is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and weakly binds to plasma proteins. Peak serum concentrations are reached within 2-3 hours. The half-life is approximately 1 hour. Hymecromone is excreted by the kidneys (approximately 93% as glucuronate, 1.4% as sulfonate, and 0.3% as unchanged drug).
