Chirhostim is a drug whose main ingredient is secretin. Chirhostim is used to stimulate the pancreas to secrete to see if the pancreas is working properly, thereby helping to diagnose or find problems in the pancreas, papillomas during endoscopy. Chirhostim is also used to help diagnose adenomas (tumors in the pancreas or intestines).

A secretin stimulation test allows your doctor to check how well your pancreas responds to the secretion of gastric juice. This is a hormone that is important in digestion. If your secretin stimulation test results are abnormal, you may have a pancreatic disease such as pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or cystic fibrosis.
