Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets IP 150mg.

Pacitora Biotech presents Ursotrex-150™, a high-quality formulation containing Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets IP 150mg. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a naturally occurring bile acid that has become a cornerstone in the management of several hepatobiliary disorders. Unlike toxic bile acids that damage liver cells, UDCA is hydrophilic and cytoprotective, making it an ideal therapeutic agent for conditions involving cholestasis (impaired bile flow).

Key Benefits:

• Gallstone Dissolution – Non-surgical treatment for radiolucent gallstones.

• Liver Protection – Reduces toxic bile acids in chronic liver diseases.

• Improves Liver Function Tests – Lowers elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP).

• Slows Disease Progression – Delays cirrhosis in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).

• Well-Tolerated – Few side effects compared to other bile acid therapies.

FAQs:

1. What is Ursotrex-150 used for?
Ursotrex-150 (Ursodeoxycholic Acid) is used to dissolve certain types of cholesterol gallstones (non-surgical treatment) and as first-line therapy for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic autoimmune liver disease. It is also used for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (severe itching) and other liver conditions.

2. How does Ursotrex-150 dissolve gallstones?
Ursotrex-150 reduces the cholesterol content of bile, making it less saturated. Over several months (6–24 months), the cholesterol in gallstones slowly dissolves. Success depends on small (<20mm), non-calcified, “floating” stones in a functioning gallbladder.

3. How long do I need to take Ursotrex-150 for gallstones?
Treatment typically takes 6–24 months depending on stone size and number. Ultrasound monitoring every 6 months checks progress. Once stones have dissolved completely, your doctor may continue treatment for another 1–3 months to dissolve microscopic fragments.

4. What are the common side effects of Ursotrex-150?
Diarrhea is the most common side effect (5-10% of patients), but it is usually mild and often improves with continued use. Taking the medication with food and dividing the daily dose into 2–4 smaller doses can help reduce diarrhea.
