Consistent use, as directed (often months or longer), is crucial for optimal results; continue even if symptoms subside. Common side effects—abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, alopecia, pruritus, nausea, and rash—affect some patients. Report persistent or concerning side effects to your physician.

Dosage and timing for Ulyses 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 at bedtime.

This lowers cholesterol saturation in bile, promoting gallstone dissolution. Furthermore, increased bile flow protects liver cells and reduces elevated liver enzyme levels.
