URSOTAS 300MG TAB 1*10

About

URSOTAS 300MG contains Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid. It works by reducing the cholesterol content of bile, thereby facilitating the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. UDCA also has cytoprotective and immunomodulatory properties, which are beneficial in various cholestatic liver diseases. It helps to improve bile flow and reduce the accumulation of toxic bile acids in the liver, protecting liver cells from damage. This medication is often prescribed for long-term management to prevent gallstone recurrence or to manage symptoms associated with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and other cholestatic conditions, improving liver function and patient quality of life.
