URSODIL 300 TAB.

About

URSODIL 300 TAB. contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid. This medication is primarily used to dissolve certain types of gallstones and to treat various liver diseases, particularly primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). UDCA works by reducing the cholesterol content of bile, thereby facilitating the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. In liver conditions, it helps to improve bile flow, protect liver cells from toxic bile acids, and reduce inflammation. By altering the composition of bile and exerting cytoprotective effects, URSODIL helps to improve liver function and alleviate symptoms associated with cholestatic liver diseases. It is a cornerstone therapy for several hepatobiliary disorders.
