UDCHOLIC 150 

Ursodeoxycholic Acid / (150mg)

UDCHOLIC 150 is a pharmaceutical tablet containing Ursodeoxycholic Acid (150mg), a bile acid used primarily for treating various liver and gallbladder disorders. This medication helps in dissolving gallstones, improving liver function, and managing chronic liver diseases.

Composition

  • Ursodeoxycholic Acid (150mg): Ursodeoxycholic Acid, also known as UDCA, is a naturally occurring bile acid that helps reduce cholesterol absorption and increase bile flow. This action aids in dissolving cholesterol gallstones and improving liver function.

Uses

UDCHOLIC 150 is indicated for several medical conditions, including:

  • Gallstones: Helps dissolve cholesterol gallstones in patients with a functioning gallbladder.
  • Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC): Manages this chronic liver disease by reducing liver damage and improving liver function.
  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Improves liver function in patients with fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol.
  • Biliary Cirrhosis: Helps in reducing liver damage in patients with biliary cirrhosis.

Dosage

The recommended dosage of UDCHOLIC 150 varies depending on the condition being treated. Generally, the dosage is as follows:

  • Gallstones: 8-10 mg/kg of body weight per day, divided into two or three doses.
  • Primary Biliary Cholangitis: 13-15 mg/kg of body weight per day, divided into two or three doses.

It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the exact dosage and duration of treatment. Swallow the tablets whole with water, preferably with food to enhance absorption.

Side Effects

UDCHOLIC 150 is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience side effects, including:

  • Diarrhea: This is the most common side effect and is usually mild.
  • Nausea: Some patients may feel nauseous after taking the medication.
  • Abdominal Pain: Mild abdominal pain or discomfort can occur.
  • Itching: Pruritus or itching may be experienced, particularly in patients with liver disease.

If you experience severe side effects such as severe abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), or severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention immediately.

Price

The price of UDCHOLIC 150 can vary depending on the pharmacy and location. It is advisable to check with local pharmacies or online stores for the most current pricing information. Generic versions may also be available at a lower cost.

Precautions

Before taking UDCHOLIC 150, inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions or allergies you have, and any other medications you are taking. Specific precautions include:

  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of UDCHOLIC 150 in these conditions has not been fully established.
  • Liver Impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe liver dysfunction.
  • Biliary Obstruction: Not recommended for patients with complete biliary obstruction.

Interactions

UDCHOLIC 150 can interact with other medications, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. 

  • Cholestyramine: This medication can reduce the absorption of Ursodeoxycholic Acid, making it less effective.
  • Ciprofloxacin: Concomitant use may increase the levels of Ciprofloxacin in the blood.
  • Estrogen-containing medications: These can reduce the effectiveness of UDCA in dissolving gallstones.
