Ursodeoxycholic Acid is a bile acid medication commonly used to treat liver and gallbladder disorders. It works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver and by gradually dissolving cholesterol-based gallstones. This medicine also helps improve bile flow, which supports healthy liver function.
Ursodeoxycholic Acid is frequently prescribed for conditions such as cholesterol gallstones, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and other liver diseases where bile flow is reduced. It helps protect liver cells from damage and improves liver enzyme levels.
This medication is usually taken under medical supervision and as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
