URSOCOLIV 300 10 S

About

Ursocoliv 300 contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid that plays a vital role in the management of certain types of gallstones and various cholestatic liver diseases. UDCA exerts its therapeutic effects by reducing the cholesterol content of bile, which helps to prevent the formation of new cholesterol gallstones and gradually dissolves existing ones over time. In chronic liver conditions such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), UDCA improves bile flow by altering the composition of the bile acid pool, making it less toxic to liver cells. It also exhibits cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, which collectively help to protect hepatocytes from damage, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of liver fibrosis. By normalizing liver enzyme levels and enhancing bile acid excretion, Ursocoliv 300 is a cornerstone in improving liver function and patient outcomes in cholestatic disorders.
