Kinevac Sincalide for Injection 5 mcg Per Vial by Bracco (RX)

Kinevac Sincalide for Injection 5 mcg is an injectable short-acting synthetic hormone agent that works by temporally stimulating the secretion of choledochal, gastrin hormones, and acid juice production in the duodenum by the exocrine glands. It helps to evacuate bile faster, increasing alkaline phosphatase levels. The action and the secretagogue effect of Kinevac has been found to be powerful and it is used in the diagnosis and examination of pancreatic secretory-biliary function for the relief of spasmodic pain due to sluggish reflux of gallop biliary tract and gall bladder disorders in adults as well as children. The short-term effects of this drug help to improve choleretic function, reduce cholesterol, reduce the levels of toxins in the duedum, and boost digestive functions. Kinevac Sincalide has been found to be a safe, effective, and reliable treatment option for both adults and children and it can lead to stabilization of pancreatic-hepatobiliary colon dysregulation levels in many cases.

Kinevac (sincalide for injection) is a diagnostic agent manufactured by Bracco Diagnostics. Each vial contains 5 micrograms of sincalide, which is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone cholecystokinin (CCK). It is used primarily in diagnostic imaging procedures to stimulate the gallbladder and pancreas. 

The primary use of Kinevac is in cholecystography and cholescintigraphy to evaluate gallbladder function, such as assessing gallbladder contraction and bile ducts, and to assist in diagnosing gallbladder disease. Additionally, it is used in stimulating the pancreas for secretin stimulation testing procedures, which can help diagnose pancreatic insufficiency or other related disorders.

Kinevac is administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It works by causing the gallbladder to contract and release bile, which assists in obtaining more accurate diagnostic images for evaluation. Healthcare providers must monitor patients during the procedure for any potential side effects or adverse reactions, such as nausea, abdominal pain, or allergic reactions.

As with any medication, it is essential to use Kinevac according to professional guidelines and to consider patient-specific factors like allergies, current medications, and overall health condition.
