Ursolid 150mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Ursolid 150 Tablet is a medicine that contains ursodeoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid produced by the liver. It is commonly prescribed for managing liver-related conditions such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and cholesterol-based gallstones. In some cases, it is also used to support liver function in patients with cystic fibrosis. By reducing the cholesterol content in bile, Ursolid 150 Tablet helps improve bile flow and prevents the formation of gallstones that can be harmful.
The dosage of Ursolid 150 Tablet depends on the condition being treated, your body weight, and your doctor’s assessment. It is essential to take the medicine exactly as prescribed and to swallow it whole after a meal, accompanied by a glass of milk or water. Regular and consistent use of Ursolid 150 Tablet is essential, even if your symptoms improve, as the treatment may continue for several months or longer to achieve full benefit.
Some people may experience mild side effects while taking Ursolid 150 Tablet. These can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, hair loss, itching, or rash. Most side effects are temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to contact your doctor. Not everyone experiences side effects, and your doctor can provide guidance to manage any discomfort that may arise.
Before starting Ursolid 150 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, frequent cramp-like upper abdominal pain, a history of coughing up blood, or rapid weight gain. Also, share details of all other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking, as Ursolid 150 Tablet may interact with certain drugs. Women should discuss discontinuing hormonal birth control pills with their doctor, as these may increase the risk of gallstone formation.
Monitoring your liver function is an important part of treatment with Ursolid 150 Tablet. Your doctor may recommend regular blood tests and ultrasound scans to track your progress and ensure the medicine is working effectively. By taking Ursolid 150 Tablet as prescribed, following your doctor’s advice, and attending regular check-ups, you can manage liver-related conditions effectively and reduce the risk of complications.
