Ursofalk 250mg

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a bile acid derivative used in the treatment of various liver and gallbladder disorders, including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), gallstones, and certain liver diseases. It works by reducing the production and absorption of cholesterol in the liver, which helps dissolve cholesterol-rich gallstones and prevents their formation. UDCA also has cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects on liver cells, which may contribute to its beneficial effects in liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

One of the main benefits of ursodeoxycholic acid is its ability to dissolve cholesterol gallstones in individuals with symptomatic gallstone disease, thereby avoiding the need for surgical intervention such as cholecystectomy. Additionally, UDCA has been shown to improve liver function tests, reduce liver inflammation, and slow down disease progression in patients with PBC and other liver disorders. It is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, making it suitable for long-term use in the management of chronic liver conditions.
