Description:
A prescription medication containing ursodeoxycholic acid, a bile acid used to support bile flow and protect liver cells in certain hepatobiliary conditions.

Indications:
• Dissolution of cholesterol gallstones in patients who have functioning gallbladders and are not suitable for surgery.
• Treatment of chronic cholestatic liver diseases (such as primary biliary cholangitis) to improve liver function and reduce bile-acid-induced damage.
• Support of bile flow and reduction of toxic bile acid accumulation in the liver.

Key Component (per capsule):
Ursodeoxycholic acid 500 mg.

Recommended Dosage:
Take as directed by a healthcare professional. The dose and frequency depend on the condition being treated; usually divided into two or three doses taken with food to enhance absorption.

Mechanism of Action:
Ursodeoxycholic acid reduces cholesterol saturation in bile, which may help dissolve cholesterol stones. It also protects liver cells from toxic bile acids and enhances bile flow.
