Udiliv Tablet

Udiliv Tablet

Udiliv tablets are a medication used to dissolve cholesterol gallstones and treat certain liver diseases. The active ingredient in Udiliv is ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid. UDCA works by decreasing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver and increasing the amount of bile acids that dissolve cholesterol. This can help to dissolve small gallstones and prevent new ones from forming. UDCA is also thought to protect the liver from damage.

Here are some of the conditions that Udiliv tablets are used to treat:

1. Cholesterol gallstones: Udiliv tablets are the first-line treatment for dissolving small cholesterol gallstones (less than 2 cm in diameter). Treatment typically lasts for 6 to 24 months.
2. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC): Udiliv tablets are used to slow the progression of PBC, a chronic liver disease that affects the bile ducts.
3. Liver disease associated with cystic fibrosis: Udiliv tablets can improve liver function in children and adults with cystic fibrosis.

Udiliv tablets are available in different strengths, including 150 mg, 300 mg, and 450 mg. The dosage is typically based on your weight and the condition being treated. Udiliv tablets are usually taken once or twice a day with or without food.
It is important to note that Udiliv tablets are not a cure for gallstones or PBC. They may not be effective for everyone, and some people may experience side effects, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or fatigue. If you are considering taking Udiliv tablets, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits.
