Ursochol 250 mg 20 Capsules

Description:
A prescription medication containing ursodeoxycholic acid, a bile acid that supports healthy bile flow and protects liver cells. It is commonly used in hepatobiliary conditions under medical supervision.

Indications:
• Dissolution of certain cholesterol gallstones in patients with functioning gallbladders who are not suitable for surgery.
• Treatment of chronic cholestatic liver diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) to improve liver function.
• Support for bile flow and reduction of toxic bile acid effects on liver cells.

Key Component (per capsule):
Ursodeoxycholic acid 250 mg.

Recommended Dosage:
Take as directed by a healthcare professional. Dosing depends on the condition treated and is typically divided into two or three doses taken with food to improve absorption.

Mechanism of Action:
Ursodeoxycholic acid decreases cholesterol saturation in bile, which can help dissolve cholesterol stones over time. It also protects liver cells from damage caused by hydrophobic bile acids and improves bile flow.

Warnings:
Use only under medical supervision. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Keep out of reach of children. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medications, or have other medical conditions.

Mild gastrointestinal symptoms may occur, such as diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort.
