Livcare 10mg Tablet is used alone or in combination with treatment for certain liver diseases (primary biliary cholangitis-PBC).
Obeticholic acid is prescribed as a standalone treatment or in combination with ursodiol (Actigall, Urso) for the management of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). PBC is a liver disease that results in the destruction of bile ducts, leading to the retention of bile in the liver, causing damage. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as farnesoid X receptor agonists. Its mechanism of action involves reducing the production of bile in the liver and enhancing the removal of bile from the liver. Obeticholic acid is typically recommended for individuals who cannot tolerate ursodiol or for those who did not achieve successful results with ursodiol treatment alone.
