Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets I.P
Brand Name: Udikon 300
Manufactured by: Mediboon Pharma
Uses: Surgery is the standard remedy for symptomatic gallstones but ursodeoxycholic acid treatments will break down smaller rocks mostly made of cholesterol. Ursodeoxycholic acid is the natural bile acid the body produces. It functions by lowering the liver’s free cholesterol and distributing cholesterol slowly. The stones are broken.
Any preparations of ursodeoxycholic acid may contribute to primary biliary cholangitis. This is a disorder that slowly affects the gallbladder in the liver and can destroy the liver as the disease progresses.
Description
Ursodeoxycholic Acid is a hepatoprotective medication. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood and helps dissolve gallbladder stones that are composed mainly of cholesterol. It also improves liver enzymes, protects liver cells from injury caused due to toxic bile acids, and improves liver function.
