About
Usibon 300 Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid that is a key component of human bile. UDCA works by reducing the cholesterol content of bile, thereby facilitating the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones and preventing their formation. Beyond its role in gallstone management, UDCA also exhibits hepatoprotective properties. It helps to improve bile flow, reduce the toxicity of other bile acids, and protect liver cells from damage in various cholestatic liver diseases, most notably Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). Its mechanism involves modulating the immune response and stabilizing cell membranes, contributing to improved liver function and reduced inflammation.
