Ursodeoxycholic Acid 300mg Tablet

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets belong to a group of medicines called the biliary agents or gallstone dissolution agents used to treat gallstones, primary biliary cholangitis (an autoimmune disease of the liver), excess cholesterol in bile and children above 6 years with biliary and liver diseases caused by cystic fibrosis. Ursodeoxycholic Acid contains ursodeoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring bile acid.

Protective Effect on Liver Cells: Research has stated that ursodeoxycholic acid offers protection for liver cells. In individuals with primary biliary cirrhosis, it can assist in improving liver function and postpone the need for liver transplantation.

Possible Prevention of Disease Progression: Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have been shown to live longer and experience a delay in the onset of their illness when they get prolonged ursodeoxycholic acid therapy.
