Description

ABOUT UDILIV 300MG TABLET

UDILIV 300MG Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid, a naturally occurring bile acid used to support liver health. This medication is primarily used to manage primary biliary cirrhosis. In this condition, the bile ducts in the liver become damaged, leading to bile buildup. It is also effective in dissolving small gallstones (less than 15 mm in diameter) in patients with a functioning gallbladder. Gallstones are hardened deposits, mostly of cholesterol, that can form in the gallbladder and cause severe abdominal pain.

In children aged 6 to less than 18 years with cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects mucus, sweat, and digestive fluid production, leading to blocked ducts, UDILIV 300MG Tablet can be used to treat liver disease associated with this condition.

While taking UDILIV 300MG Tablet, doctors may recommend diagnostic tests such as liver function tests and gallbladder scans to monitor the treatment’s effectiveness and the patient’s health status.

This medication is not recommended for individuals with allergies to bile acids, calcified gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder or bile ducts, bile duct blockage, frequent cramp-like upper abdominal pain, low bile flow in children, or gallbladder dysfunction. Caution is advised for patients with liver diseases. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the UDILIV 300MG Tablet should only be taken if prescribed by a doctor.

Common side effects of UDILIV 300MG Tablet include soft, loose stools or diarrhoea. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a doctor is advised. Other possible side effects include abdominal discomfort, nausea, rash, dizziness, indigestion, and weakness, which usually resolve over time.

Patients should inform their doctors if they have conditions like variceal bleeding (high portal vein pressure), ascites (abdominal fluid buildup), liver encephalopathy, or other liver diseases before taking UDILIV 300MG Tablet. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase drowsiness and liver damage. Women should stop using hormonal birth control pills as they can increase gallstone production. Regular ultrasound scans or blood tests may be necessary to monitor liver function during treatment.

UDILIV 300MG Tablet is taken with food and should be swallowed whole with milk or water. The dosage depends on the patient’s condition and body weight, and it should be taken regularly for maximum benefit, even if symptoms improve.
