Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Sincalide for Injection is indicated in adults to: stimulate gallbladder contraction, as may be assessed by various methods of diagnostic imaging, or to obtain by duodenal aspiration a sample of concentrated bile for analysis of cholesterol, bile salts, phospholipids, and crystals; stimulate pancreatic secretion in combination with secretin prior to obtaining a duodenal aspirate for analysis of enzyme activity, composition, and cytology; accelerate the transit of a barium meal through the small bowel, thereby decreasing the time and extent of radiation associated with fluoroscopy and x-ray examination of the intestinal tract.

Sincalide for Injection is a cholecystokinin (CCK) analog indicated in adults to: stimulate gallbladder contraction, as may be assessed by various methods of diagnostic imaging, or to obtain by duodenal aspiration a sample of concentrated bile for analysis of cholesterol, bile salts, phospholipids, and crystals.

Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, and other serious hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Evacuation of gallstones [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Adverse reactions with intravenous injection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Preterm labor or spontaneous abortion [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] The following adverse reactions associated with the use of sincalide were identified in clinical trials or postmarketing reports.

Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency, reliably, or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

The most frequent adverse reactions (20% or greater) are gastrointestinal: abdominal discomfort or pain, and nausea; these may not necessarily indicate an abnormality of the biliary tract unless there is other clinical or radiologic evidence of disease.

Less common adverse reactions include: Hypersensitivity reactions: anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock, hypotension, throat tightness, bradycardia, shortness of breath, nausea, abdominal cramping, diaphoresis, hives, rash, itching; and numbness of face, lips and eyes [see Contraindications (4)].

Neurological reactions: seizures, headache.

Vasovagal reactions: dizziness, loss of consciousness, nausea, diaphoresis, syncope and hypotension (generally self-limiting).

Other: nausea, vomiting, flushing, hypertension, urge to defecate, diarrhea, sneezing.

Most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are: abdominal discomfort or pain, and nausea.
