Overview LFT Plus Tablet

Ursodiol tablets are prescribed to dissolve existing gallstones and impede the formation of new ones. This medication also treats primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver ailment. Its mechanism involves breaking down cholesterol-based gallstones within the gallbladder, leading to their dissolution. Administer Ursodiol tablets whole, post-meal, with water or milk. Dosage varies based on the condition treated and patient weight. Consistent use, as directed (potentially several months or longer), is crucial for optimal results, even if symptoms subside. Common, though not universal, side effects include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, alopecia, pruritus, nausea, and skin rashes. Report persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Prior to initiating treatment, inform your doctor of any gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, recurring upper abdominal cramping, hemoptysis, or rapid weight gain. Concurrent medication use may influence Ursodiol's effectiveness; disclose all other medications. Women should cease hormonal contraception as it may exacerbate gallstone formation. Liver function monitoring, via blood tests and potentially ultrasound, may be required throughout treatment.

FAQs on LFT Plus Tablet

Dosage and timing for this medication vary depending on your condition. Your doctor may prescribe 2-3 doses daily, possibly with the last dose at bedtime. LFT Plus Tablet can be taken with water or milk, and with or without food. For gallstone dissolution, a single nightly dose is typically recommended. If taking multiple doses, allow at least 6 hours between each (e.g., 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm).
LFT Plus Tablets are generally safe and effective. Common side effects, including diarrhea, may occur. If diarrhea persists after a potential dose reduction, treatment may be stopped. Long-term use can affect liver enzymes, requiring regular monitoring. Despite these potential side effects, it offers a viable alternative to surgery for some gallstone patients.
LFT Plus Tablets work by concentrating in liver bile, thus inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and secretion, lowering bile cholesterol levels. The medication also prevents intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. This reduced bile cholesterol saturation facilitates gradual gallstone dissolution, shrinking them and potentially eliminating them entirely. Furthermore, increased bile flow improves liver enzyme levels and protects liver cells.
While LFT Plus Tablet may cause weight gain, this is uncommon. Weight gain can occur in patients with liver disease involving bile duct blockage, preventing bile flow to the intestines. However, individual responses vary, so consult your doctor about any weight changes.
To maximize the effectiveness of LFT Plus Tablet, don't take antacids, cholestyramine, colestipol, oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, or clofibrate without first discussing it with your doctor. These medications can either reduce LFT Plus Tablet's effectiveness or increase your risk of gallstones, counteracting its benefits. Your doctor can advise on appropriate timing if you must take these medications concurrently.
