This tablet acts as a dissolving agent, which reduces the cholesterol content in bile. It should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. The common side effects associated with this medicine are diarrhoea and paste-like stools. Most of these are temporary but if you feel the side effects persist or your condition worsens, you should contact your doctor immediately.
