Overview Udefine 150 Tablet

UD150 tablets effectively dissolve existing gallstones and inhibit new formation. They're also indicated in treating primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disorder. The medication works by breaking down cholesterol-based gallstones, facilitating their dissolution. Swallow UD150 tablets whole post-meal with water or milk. Dosage varies based on the condition being treated and patient weight. Consistent use is crucial for optimal results; continue as directed (potentially for months or longer), even if symptoms subside. Common side effects, experienced by some patients, include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, alopecia, pruritus, nausea, and skin rashes. Report persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, recurrent upper abdominal cramping, hemoptysis, or significant weight gain. Concomitant medication use may influence UD150's efficacy; disclose all current medications. Women should cease hormonal contraception, as it may promote gallstone development. Regular ultrasound examinations and liver function blood tests may be required throughout treatment.

FAQs on Udefine 150 Tablet

Dosage and timing for Udefine 150 Tablet vary depending on your condition. Your doctor will determine the appropriate schedule, which may involve 2-3 daily doses, possibly with the last dose at bedtime. 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 at least a 6-hour interval (e.g., 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm).
Udefine 150 Tablet is generally safe and effective. Common side effects, like diarrhea, may occur. Your doctor might lower the dose if diarrhea develops, or discontinue treatment if it persists. Long-term use can affect liver enzymes, requiring regular monitoring. Nevertheless, it offers a viable non-surgical option for some gallstone patients.
Udefine 150 Tablet works by concentrating in bile, reducing cholesterol synthesis and secretion in the liver. It also inhibits intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. This lowers cholesterol saturation in bile, promoting gallstone dissolution. Improved bile flow also reduces elevated liver enzyme levels and protects liver cells.
Weight gain is a possible, though uncommon, side effect of Udefine 150 Tablet. It's 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 gain.
To maximize the effectiveness of Udefine 150 Tablet, avoid antacids, cholestyramine, colestipol, oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and clofibrate without first consulting your doctor. These medications can reduce Udefine 150 Tablet's efficacy or increase the risk of gallstones. Your doctor can advise on appropriate timing if you must take these medications concurrently.
