A drug in the form of a solid preparation soluble or suspendable in water
or an aqueous solution characterized by containing at least one
biocompatible, gastric motility suppressing component such as triacetin,
which is capable of transmitting ultrasonic wave to a target organ via
the solution pooled in the body in a noninvasive examination (for
example, an ultrasonic examination of an abdominal organ), identifying
the area in which the solution exists, or clarifying the boundary of the
solution and an organ in contact therewith, is employed as an auxiliary
agent in the examination. In addition, triacetin can be extensively used
as a gastric motility suppressor.
