Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) works by reducing the cholesterol saturation in bile, which facilitates the gradual dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. During treatment, it decreases cholesterol secretion into bile while enhancing bile acid secretion, helping restore healthy bile composition without reducing phospholipids.
UDCA is prescribed for the management of various liver and biliary conditions, including:
- Cholestasis (Jaundice)
- Viral Hepatitis
- Alcoholic Fatty Liver
- Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC)
- Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)
- Dissolution of Gallstones
- Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
