URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID 300MG TABLETS

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets known as UDCA tablets are used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis and gallbladder stones. These tablets provide relief by reducing the amount of cholesterol that is produced by the liver and by dissolving gallstones in the gallbladder. Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets help the liver produce more bile. This increased bile flow reduces the chances of forming cholesterol-based gallstones. Additionally, UDCA can improve how the liver works and lower the risk of liver damage in conditions like primary biliary cholangitis. 

The main benefit of Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) Tablets is that they help dissolve gallstones made of cholesterol. This can relieve symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and indigestion. UDCA also helps the liver work better and can lower swelling in certain liver diseases, like primary biliary cholangitis.
