Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets

Function and Efficacy

Ursodeoxycholic acid accounts for a small part of human bile. After oral administration of ursodeoxycholic acid, the cholesterol saturation in bile is reduced by inhibiting the reabsorption of cholesterol in the intestine and reducing the secretion of cholesterol into bile. Cholesterol stones are gradually dissolved, probably due to the dispersion of cholesterol and the formation of liquid crystals. According to existing knowledge, the treatment of liver and cholestatic diseases with ursodeoxycholic acid capsules is mainly based on the relative replacement of lipophilic, detergent-like toxic bile acids by hydrophilic, cytoprotective and non-cytotoxic ursodeoxycholic acid, as well as the promotion of hepatocyte secretion and immunomodulation.

Ingredients
