Overview Meliv 150mg Tablet

Ursodiol 150mg tablets are prescribed to dissolve existing gallstones and prevent new ones from forming. This medication also treats primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disorder. It works by breaking down cholesterol-based gallstones, leading to their dissolution. Take Ursodiol 150mg tablets whole after meals with water or milk. Dosage varies based on your condition and weight. For optimal results, take this medication consistently as directed (potentially for several months or longer), even if symptoms subside. Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, itching, rash, and hair loss, although not everyone experiences these. Report any persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Inform your doctor before starting treatment if you experience frequent upper abdominal cramping, gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, unexplained weight gain, or have coughed up blood. Concurrently taking other medications may influence Ursodiol's effectiveness; disclose all medications to your doctor. Women using hormonal contraceptives should discontinue use as these can increase gallstone formation. Regular blood tests and ultrasound scans may be required to monitor liver function throughout treatment.

FAQs on Meliv 150mg Tablet

Dosage and timing for Meliv 150mg Tablet vary depending on your condition. Your doctor will determine the appropriate schedule, which may be 2-3 times daily, with the final dose taken at bedtime. It can be taken with water or milk, and with or without food. For gallstones, a single nightly dose is typically recommended. If taking multiple doses, maintain a 6-hour interval (e.g., 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm).
Meliv 150mg tablets are generally safe and effective. Diarrhea is a possible side effect; your doctor may lower your dose or discontinue treatment if it persists. Long-term use can affect liver enzymes, requiring regular monitoring. Despite these potential side effects, this medication offers a viable alternative to surgery for some gallstone patients.
Meliv 150mg Tablets work by concentrating in bile, reducing cholesterol synthesis and secretion from the liver. This lowers cholesterol levels in bile and prevents intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. The resulting lower cholesterol saturation in bile gradually dissolves gallstones, shrinking them and potentially eliminating them. Increased bile flow also protects liver cells by reducing elevated liver enzyme levels.
Meliv 150mg Tablet may cause weight gain, though this is uncommon. Weight gain 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 about any weight changes.
Don't take antacids, cholestyramine, colestipol, oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, or clofibrate with Meliv 150mg tablets without your doctor's guidance. These medications can reduce Meliv's effectiveness or increase gallstone risk, counteracting its benefits. Always consult your doctor to determine safe timing if taking Meliv with these other drugs.
