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 also sometimes used to manage liver conditions associated with cystic fibrosis.
The mechanism of action of Ursold 300 involves reducing the cholesterol content in bile. These tablets should be swallowed whole after a meal, accompanied by a glass of milk or water. The dosage depends on the specific condition being treated and your body weight. It is important to take the medication regularly for maximum benefit and for the full duration prescribed (which may be several months or longer), even if symptoms improve.
Common side effects may include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, hair loss, itching, nausea, and rash. However, not everyone will experience these side effects. If you have concerns or if any side effects persist, please inform your doctor.
Before taking this medication, inform your doctor if you have inflammation of the gallbladder or bile ducts, frequently experience cramp-like pains in your upper abdomen, have been coughing up blood, or have gained weight rapidly.
Ursolid 300 tablet may affect the effectiveness of other medications, so it is important to disclose all other medicines you are taking to your doctor. Women who are using hormonal birth control pills should discontinue them, as they can increase the production of gallstones.
