Ursodeoxycholic Acid (300mg)

Overview Udivrol 300mg Tablet

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) 300mg tablets are prescribed to dissolve existing gallstones and hinder the formation of new ones. This medication also treats primary biliary cholangitis, a type of liver disease. It functions by metabolizing cholesterol-based gallstones, leading to their dissolution. Administer UDCA 300mg tablets whole after eating, with water or milk. Dosage is individualized based on your condition and weight. Consistent use is vital for optimal results; continue taking the medication for the prescribed duration (potentially months or longer), even if symptoms subside. Common side effects, experienced by some patients, include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, alopecia, pruritus, nausea, and skin rash. Report any persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, recurring upper abdominal cramping, hemoptysis, or recent significant weight gain. UDCA may interact with other medications; disclose all concurrent medications. Women should cease hormonal contraceptives as they can potentially exacerbate gallstone formation. Regular ultrasound examinations and liver function blood tests may be necessary during treatment.

Long-term use can affect liver enzyme levels, requiring regular monitoring. Despite these potential side effects, this medication offers a viable alternative to surgery for some gallstone patients.
Udivrol 300mg tablets concentrate in bile, reducing cholesterol synthesis and secretion by the liver. This lowers bile cholesterol levels and inhibits intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. Consequently, reduced bile cholesterol saturation facilitates gallstone dissolution. Increased bile flow also protects liver cells by lowering elevated liver enzyme levels.
Weight gain is a possible, though uncommon, side effect of Udivrol 300mg. It's more likely in patients with liver disease causing bile stasis, preventing bile flow to the intestines. Individual responses vary; consult your doctor if you gain weight while taking this medication.
