Lidan Paishi Pian (simplified Chinese: 利胆排石片; traditional Chinese: 利膽排石片) is a sugar-coated tablet or film-coated tablet with a brown core, used in Traditional Chinese medicine to "remove damp-heat, increase the flow of bile and expel calculi". It tastes bitter and salty.
It is used when there are symptoms of "cholelithiasis, infection of the biliary tract, and cholecystitis".
A traditional Chinese doctor typically prescribes about 6 to 10 tablets for expelling calculi, and about 4 to 6 tablets for treating inflammation, twice a day.
