Overview Udsil 150 Tablet

Ursodiol 150 mg tablets effectively dissolve existing gallstones and hinder the formation of new ones. This medication also treats primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disorder. It functions by breaking down cholesterol-based gallstones, facilitating their dissolution. Always swallow Ursodiol 150 mg tablets whole with milk or water after meals. Dosage is individualized based on your condition and weight. Consistent use, as directed (often for months or longer), maximizes efficacy. Continue treatment even if symptoms subside. Common side effects include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, hair loss, itching, nausea, and skin rashes; however, not all patients experience these. Report persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Prior to starting Ursodiol, inform your doctor of any gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, recurring upper abdominal cramps, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), or recent rapid weight gain. This medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, disclose all current medications. Women should cease hormonal contraception due to its potential to increase gallstone formation. Regular ultrasound scans and liver function blood tests may be necessary during treatment.

Dosage timing for Udsil 150 Tablet varies depending on your condition. Your doctor may prescribe 2-3 doses daily, possibly with the last dose at bedtime.

Long-term use may impact liver enzyme levels, requiring regular monitoring. Nevertheless, it offers a viable non-surgical option for certain gallstone patients.
Udsil 150 Tablet works by concentrating in the liver's bile, inhibiting cholesterol production and secretion. It also prevents intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. This lowers bile cholesterol saturation, promoting gallstone dissolution. Increased bile flow improves liver enzyme levels and protects liver cells.
