Udiliv 150mg Tablet

About

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), the active ingredient in Udiliv 150mg Tablet, is a naturally occurring bile acid that plays a crucial role in the management of various hepatobiliary disorders. Its primary mechanism involves reducing the cholesterol saturation of bile, thereby facilitating the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones and preventing their formation. Beyond its cholelitholytic properties, UDCA exhibits significant cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects within the liver. It helps to stabilize hepatocyte membranes, protect liver cells from toxic bile acids, and improve bile flow in cholestatic conditions. This multifaceted action makes Udiliv an effective therapeutic option for conditions such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and other cholestatic liver diseases, where it helps to slow disease progression and improve liver function. Its ability to modify bile composition and exert protective effects on liver cells contributes significantly to its clinical utility in maintaining liver health.
