Overview Udtox 150 Tablet

Ursodiol 150 mg tablets dissolve existing gallstones and prevent new ones from forming. They're also indicated in the management of primary biliary cholangitis, a liver disease. The medication works by breaking down cholesterol-based gallstones, facilitating their dissolution. Swallow Ursodiol 150 mg tablets whole with food and a beverage such as water or milk. Dosage varies based on condition and weight; consistent use, as directed (often for several months or more), is vital for optimal results. Continue treatment even if symptoms improve. Common side effects include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, alopecia, pruritus, nausea, and skin rashes. Report any 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 unexplained weight gain. Concurrent medication use may necessitate dosage adjustments; disclose all medications to your doctor. Women should cease using hormonal contraceptives, as these can promote gallstone formation. Liver function monitoring, often via ultrasound and blood tests, may be required during therapy.

FAQs on Udtox 150 Tablet

Dosage and timing for Udtox 150 Tablet vary depending on your condition. Your doctor will determine the appropriate frequency, which may be two to three 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 prescribed. If taking multiple doses, maintain at least a six-hour interval between each (e.g., 8 AM, 2 PM, 8 PM).
Udtox 150 Tablet is 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 mild side effects, it offers a viable surgical alternative for some gallstone patients.
Udtox 150 Tablet works by concentrating in bile, reducing cholesterol synthesis and secretion from the liver. It also inhibits intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. This lowers cholesterol saturation in bile, facilitating gallstone dissolution. Increased bile flow further protects the liver and reduces elevated liver enzyme levels.
While weight gain is possible with Udtox 150 Tablet, it's infrequent. It's more likely in patients with liver disease causing bile stasis, preventing bile flow to the intestines. Weight gain risk varies individually; consult your doctor if this occurs.
To maximize the effectiveness of Udtox 150 Tablet, avoid antacids, cholestyramine, colestipol, oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and clofibrate without first discussing it with your doctor. These medications can reduce Udtox 150 Tablet's efficacy or increase the risk of gallstones. Your doctor can advise on appropriate timing if you must take these medications concurrently.
