Other common adverse events were diarrhea (58 %), nausea (52 %), cholelithiasis (30 %), headache (28 %), and abdominal pain (24 %). Among the 137 patients who had a normal gallbladder at baseline, 27 had gallstones at their latest assessment and 6 had a cholecystectomy [43]. Pasireotide was recently approved in the US [46] and Europe [47] for the treatment of adult CD patients for whom pituitary surgery is not an option or has failed."}
