Ursodeoxycholic Acid 300 mg

Ursodeoxycholic Acid 300 mg (UDCA) is a bile acid primarily used to treat certain liver and gallbladder conditions by improving bile flow and protecting liver cells.

Composition of Ursodeoxycholic Acid 300 mg

• Ursodeoxycholic Acid: A naturally occurring bile acid that reduces cholesterol in bile and helps dissolve cholesterol gallstones.

Mechanism of Action

Ursodeoxycholic acid works by:

• Reducing bile toxicity to some extent or protecting liver cells from damage can improve bile flow.
• Gallstones may be dissolved by lowering cholesterol levels in bile and by reducing cholesterol absorption.

Uses

Ursodeoxycholic acid is commonly prescribed for:

• Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC): A chronic liver disease where UDCA helps slow disease progression.
• Cholestatic liver diseases: conditions where bile flow is reduced or blocked.
• Gallstone dissolution: particularly in patients with non-calcified (cholesterol) gallstones who cannot undergo surgery.
• Improvement of liver function in certain types of hepatitis and fatty liver disease (on medical advice).
