U-Dic-150

U-Dic-150 Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid. UDCA is a hydrophilic bile acid that has been used therapeutically to treat various liver and gallbladder disorders. The 150 mg dosage is commonly prescribed for specific indications, and the tablet form allows for convenient oral administration.

Mechanism of Action

Ursodeoxycholic Acid works through several mechanisms:

Cholestasis Reduction: UDCA reduces the concentration of toxic bile acids in the liver by replacing them with less toxic bile acids, thereby improving bile flow and reducing cholestasis.
Gallstone Dissolution: It decreases the cholesterol content in bile, which can help dissolve cholesterol-rich gallstones over time.
Hepatoprotective Effects: UDCA stabilizes hepatocyte membranes, reduces oxidative stress, and modulates immune responses, thereby protecting liver cells from damage.

Uses

U-Dic-150 Tablet is primarily used for:
- Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC): A chronic liver disease where UDCA helps improve liver function and delay disease progression.
- Cholestatic Liver Diseases: Conditions where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum, leading to bile accumulation.
- Gallstone Dissolution: Particularly effective for cholesterol-rich gallstones in patients who are not candidates for surgery.
- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): In some cases, UDCA may be used to improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels.
