Indication/Uses:

Ursodeoxycholic Acid 300mg film-coated tablets are primarily used for the following indications and purposes:

1. Treatment of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC): Ursodeoxycholic acid is commonly used to manage primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic liver disease characterized by the progressive destruction of the bile ducts within the liver. It helps improve liver function and slow disease progression.

2. Dissolution of Gallstones: It is used to dissolve certain types of cholesterol gallstones, particularly in patients who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer non-surgical treatment options. Ursodeoxycholic acid helps reduce the cholesterol content of bile, facilitating the dissolution of gallstones.

3. Management of Cholestasis: Ursodeoxycholic acid can be used to treat cholestasis, a condition where bile flow from the liver is reduced or blocked. This includes cholestasis of pregnancy and certain forms of drug-induced cholestasis.

4. Liver Protection: It has a protective effect on the liver by reducing liver inflammation and improving bile flow. This can be beneficial in various liver conditions where bile acid buildup is a problem.

5. Support in Certain Hepatobiliary Disorders: Ursodeoxycholic acid may be used in other hepatobiliary disorders to improve liver function and reduce symptoms.

Mechanism of Action:

• Ursodeoxycholic acid works by reducing the cholesterol content of bile, which helps dissolve cholesterol gallstones and improve bile flow.
• It also has cytoprotective effects on liver cells, helping to reduce liver inflammation and damage.

Dosage and Administration:

• The dosage of ursodeoxycholic acid varies based on the condition being treated. Typically, for PBC, the dose is 300mg to 600mg per day, divided into two or three doses.
• For gallstone dissolution, the dosage may be tailored to the size and type of gallstones and patient-specific factors.
