Udiliv

Product Overview

Udiliv is a medication containing the active ingredient Ursodeoxycholic Acid (300mg). It is available in tablet form and is formulated to address various liver disorders. Ursodeoxycholic Acid, the primary component of Udiliv, works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver and by dissolving cholesterol-containing gallstones. This medication helps improve liver function and bile flow, contributing to the management of liver diseases.

Uses

Udiliv is primarily used to treat various liver conditions, including primary biliary cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and gallstone dissolution. It is also prescribed to prevent the formation of gallstones in individuals undergoing rapid weight loss. Additionally, Udiliv may be used as adjunctive therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis-related liver disease.

How to Use

To use Udiliv, swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with meals to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Do not crush or chew the tablet. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, consult your doctor for alternative formulations. It is important to take Udiliv regularly to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.

How it Works

Ursodeoxycholic Acid, the active ingredient in Udiliv, exerts its therapeutic effects by reducing the secretion of cholesterol into bile and increasing the solubility of cholesterol in bile. By lowering the cholesterol saturation index, Udiliv helps dissolve cholesterol gallstones and prevents the formation of new stones. Additionally, Ursodeoxycholic Acid has hepatoprotective properties, which support liver function and mitigate liver damage in various hepatic disorders.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Udiliv may vary depending on the specific liver condition being treated and individual patient factors. Typically, the initial dose ranges from 8 to 10 mg/kg/day, divided into two to three doses. Your healthcare provider will adjust the dosage based on your response to treatment and any adverse effects experienced. It is important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and regimen to achieve the desired therapeutic outcomes.
