URSONYA 300 TAB

About

URSONYA 300 TAB contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid that plays a crucial role in the management of various hepatobiliary disorders. UDCA works by reducing the cholesterol content of bile, thereby facilitating the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones and preventing their formation. It also has cytoprotective properties, protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of toxic bile acids by altering the composition of bile.

Beyond gallstone dissolution, URSONYA 300 TAB is widely used in the treatment of chronic cholestatic liver diseases, such as Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). In these conditions, it helps to improve bile flow, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of liver damage. Its mechanism involves increasing the hydrophilicity of the bile acid pool, which makes bile less toxic to hepatocytes and cholangiocytes, ultimately improving liver function and reducing symptoms like pruritus.
