Ursodeoxycholic Acid (150mg)

Overview Yakrit 150 Tablet

Ursodeoxycholic acid 150mg tablets are indicated for the dissolution of specific gallstones and the prevention of gallstone formation. This medication also treats primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disorder. It functions by metabolizing cholesterol-based gallstones, leading to their dissolution. Administer this medication whole, post-prandially, with water or milk. Dosage is determined by the condition being treated and patient weight. Consistent use, as prescribed (potentially for months or longer), is crucial for optimal results. Continue treatment even if symptoms abate. Commonly reported adverse effects include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, alopecia, pruritus, nausea, and skin rashes; however, these are not universally experienced. Report any persistent or concerning side effects to your physician. Prior to commencing therapy, inform your doctor of any existing cholecystitis or cholangitis, recurrent upper abdominal cramping, hemoptysis, or rapid weight gain. Concomitant medications may experience altered efficacy; therefore, disclose all current medications to your physician. Women should cease hormonal contraception, as it may exacerbate gallstone formation. Ultrasound examinations and regular liver function blood tests may be required throughout treatment.

FAQs on Yakrit 150 Tablet

Dosage and timing for Yakrit 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, and with or without food. For gallstones, a single nightly dose is typically recommended. If taking multiple doses, allow at least 6 hours between each (e.g., 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm).
Yakrit 150 Tablet is generally safe and effective. Common side effects, like diarrhea, may occur. If diarrhea persists after a potential dose reduction, treatment might be stopped. Long-term use can affect liver enzyme levels, requiring regular monitoring. Despite these minor side effects, it offers a viable non-surgical option for some gallstone patients.
Yakrit 150 Tablets concentrate in bile, suppressing liver cholesterol production and secretion, thus lowering bile cholesterol levels. The medication also inhibits intestinal absorption of bile salts and cholesterol. This reduced bile cholesterol saturation facilitates gradual gallstone dissolution, shrinking and ultimately dissolving them. Increased bile flow improves liver enzyme levels and protects liver cells.
While Yakrit 150 Tablet may cause weight gain, this is uncommon. Weight gain can occur in patients with liver disease and bile stasis, where bile flow to the intestines is impaired. However, individual responses vary; consult your doctor about any weight gain.
To maximize Yakrit 150 Tablet's effectiveness, consult your doctor before taking antacids, as they can reduce its efficacy. Similarly, avoid cholestyramine, colestipol, oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and cholesterol-lowering drugs like clofibrate. These medications may interfere with Yakrit 150 Tablet's action or increase gallstone risk. Your doctor can advise on appropriate timing or alternative treatments.
