Overview Addurso 300 Tablet

Ursodiol 300mg tablets are prescribed to dissolve existing gallstones and prevent new ones from forming. This medication also treats primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver ailment. It works by breaking down cholesterol-based gallstones, leading to their dissolution. Swallow Ursodiol 300mg tablets whole after meals with water or milk. Dosage is tailored to your condition and weight. Consistent use is crucial for optimal results; continue taking it as directed (often for months or longer), even if symptoms improve. Common side effects, not experienced by all patients, include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, hair thinning, skin itching, nausea, and skin rashes. Report persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Prior to starting treatment, inform your doctor of any gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, recurrent upper abdominal cramping, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), or unexplained rapid weight gain. Ursodiol may interact with other medications; disclose all current medications to your doctor. Women should cease using hormonal contraceptives, as these can increase gallstone formation. Regular ultrasound scans and liver function blood tests may be required during treatment.

FAQs on Addurso 300 Tablet

Dosage and timing for Addurso 300 Tablet vary depending on your condition. Your doctor will determine the appropriate schedule, which may involve two to three doses daily, with the last dose taken before bed. Take the tablet with water or milk, with or without food. For gallstone dissolution, a single nightly dose is typically recommended. If taking multiple doses, maintain a six-hour interval between doses (e.g., 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm).
Addurso 300 Tablet is generally safe and effective. Common side effects include diarrhea, which may lead to dose reduction or treatment discontinuation if persistent. Long-term use can affect liver enzymes, requiring regular monitoring. Despite these minor side effects, it offers a viable non-surgical option for some gallstone patients.
Addurso 300 tablets work by concentrating in bile, reducing cholesterol synthesis and secretion by the liver. This lowers cholesterol levels in bile and inhibits intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. Consequently, reduced cholesterol saturation in bile facilitates gallstone dissolution, shrinking them and potentially eliminating them. Improved bile flow also reduces elevated liver enzyme levels, protecting liver cells.
Weight gain is a possible, though uncommon, side effect of Addurso 300 Tablet. This side effect is more likely in patients with liver disease causing bile stasis, preventing bile flow to the intestines. However, individual responses vary, so consult your doctor if you experience weight gain.
Addurso 300 Tablet's effectiveness may be reduced by antacids, cholestyramine, or colestipol. Consult your doctor before taking these medications concurrently; they should advise on appropriate timing. Similarly, avoid oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and clofibrate (a cholesterol-lowering agent) due to increased gallstone risk and potential counteraction with Addurso 300 Tablet.
