Overview Uroday 150 Tablet

Ursodeoxycholic acid 150mg tablets dissolve existing gallstones and prevent new ones from forming. This medication also treats primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disease, by breaking down cholesterol gallstones. Swallow the tablet whole with milk or water after meals. Dosage varies depending on your condition and weight; take it regularly as prescribed (often for several months or longer), even if symptoms improve. Common side effects include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, hair loss, itching, nausea, and rash, though not everyone experiences them. Report any persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor of gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, recurring upper abdominal cramping, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), or rapid weight gain. This medication may interact with other drugs; disclose all medications you're currently taking. Women should stop using hormonal contraceptives as these can increase gallstone formation. Regular ultrasound scans and liver function blood tests may be necessary during treatment.

FAQs on Uroday 150 Tablet

Dosage and timing for Uroday 150 Tablet vary depending on your condition. Your doctor may prescribe 2-3 doses daily, with the last dose taken at bedtime. It can be taken with water or milk, with or without food. For gallstones, a single nightly dose is typical. If taking multiple doses, maintain a 6-hour interval (e.g., 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm).
Uroday 150 Tablet is generally safe and effective. Common side effects, like diarrhea, may occur; your doctor might adjust the dosage or stop treatment if diarrhea persists. Long-term use can affect liver enzymes, requiring regular monitoring. Nevertheless, it offers a viable non-surgical option for certain gallstone patients.
Uroday 150 Tablet works by concentrating in bile, reducing cholesterol synthesis and secretion by the liver. It also inhibits intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. This lowers cholesterol saturation in bile, promoting gallstone dissolution. Increased bile flow improves liver enzyme levels and protects liver cells.
While weight gain is possible with Uroday 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 Uroday 150 Tablet effectiveness, avoid antacids, cholestyramine, colestipol, oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and clofibrate without first consulting your doctor. These medications can either reduce Uroday 150 Tablet's efficacy or increase the risk of gallstones, counteracting its intended effects. Your doctor can advise on appropriate timing if these medications must be taken concurrently.
