Description
Ursobiac 300 tablet contains ursodeoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid produced in the liver. This medication is primarily prescribed for treating liver-related disorders, including primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and cholesterol-based gallstones. It is occasionally used to manage liver conditions associated with cystic fibrosis.
The mechanism of action of the Ursobiac 300 tablet involves reducing cholesterol content in the bile. It should be swallowed whole after a meal, accompanied by a glass of milk or water. The dosage will depend on the condition being treated and your body weight. Take it regularly for maximum benefit, for the duration prescribed (several months or longer), even if symptoms disappear.
Common side effects may include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, hair loss, itching, nausea, and rash. Not everyone experiences these side effects. If you have concerns or if the side effects persist, inform your doctor. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have inflammation of the gallbladder or bile ducts, experience frequent cramp-like pain in your upper abdomen, have been coughing up blood, or have gained weight rapidly.
Ursobiac 300 tablets may interact with other medications, so inform your doctor about all other medications you are currently taking. Women should discontinue hormonal birth control pills, as they can increase the production of gallstones. Ultrasound scans and frequent blood tests may be necessary to monitor your liver function during treatment.
