URSOBIOTIX-300

What is URSOBIOTIX-300

URSOBIOTIX-300 Tablets is a prescription hepatoprotective medication containing Ursodeoxycholic Acid I.P. (300 mg). It is formulated to provide effective liver support and protection by promoting bile secretion, dissolving cholesterol-rich gallstones, and protecting liver cells from bile acid toxicity.

Key Ingredients & Their Role

URSOBIOTIX-300 contains the following active component:

• Ursodeoxycholic Acid I.P. (300 mg):

  • Naturally Occurring Bile Acid: Helps reduce the cholesterol saturation of bile by inhibiting intestinal absorption and hepatic secretion of cholesterol.

  • Gallstone Dissolution: Gradually dissolves small-to-medium cholesterol gallstones in patients with functioning gallbladders.

  • Hepatoprotective Effect: Replaces toxic, hydrophobic bile acids in the liver, protecting hepatocytes (liver cells) and cholangiocytes (bile duct cells) from damage, oxidative stress, and cell death.

Benefits & What It Helps With

Using URSOBIOTIX-300 Tablets can help with:

• Dissolution of Cholesterol Gallstones: Helps dissolve radiolucent (non-calcified) gallstones in patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery.

• Management of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC): Slows disease progression, improves liver enzyme levels, and reduces liver inflammation in chronic cholestatic liver conditions.

• Liver Protection in Chronic Liver Diseases: Helps shield liver tissue from cellular injury caused by toxic bile accumulation in conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or chronic hepatitis.

• Prevention of Gallstones During Rapid Weight Loss: Helps prevent gallstone formation in obese patients undergoing rapid weight reduction or bariatric procedures.

Who Should Use URSOBIOTIX-300

This prescription medication is generally used by:

• Patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) or other cholestatic liver disorders.

• Individuals with small to medium non-calcified cholesterol gallstones.

• Patients suffering from chronic liver dysfunction or toxic bile accumulation needing liver protection.

Important: URSOBIOTIX-300 is a prescription medicine (marked Rx) and should strictly be used under the supervision of a gastroenterologist, hepatologist, or physician.

How to Use & Dosage Advice

• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water or milk. Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet.

• Timing: Best taken with meals or food to improve absorption and reduce potential stomach irritation.

• Dosage: Use strictly as prescribed by your doctor. Dosing depends on body weight and the specific underlying medical condition being treated.

• Adherence: For gallstone dissolution, therapy may need to be continued for several months (often 6 to 24 months) as directed by your physician.

Precautions & When to Avoid

• Avoid taking if you have calcified/pigment gallstones, non-functioning gallbladders, or acute inflammation of the gallbladder or biliary tract.

• Contraindicated in cases of complete biliary tract obstruction (e.g., occlusion of the common bile duct).

• Avoid concurrent use with aluminum-containing antacids or bile acid sequestrants (like Cholestyramine), as they reduce the absorption and effectiveness of Ursodeoxycholic Acid.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before initiating treatment.

• Common mild side effects may include loose stools, diarrhea, or mild abdominal discomfort; consult your doctor if these persist.

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Packaging: 10x1x10 Blister packaging (10 strips per box).

• Always verify the expiry date on the strip/box prior to consumption.
