✔️ Drug Interactions

Liconor may interact with medicines that affect bile composition or reduce the absorption of Ursodeoxycholic Acid.

• Estrogenic hormones: May increase cholesterol secretion into bile and potentially reduce the effectiveness of treatment for cholesterol gallstones.
• Antacids: Particularly aluminium-containing antacids may reduce the absorption of Ursodeoxycholic Acid.
• Activated charcoal: May reduce the absorption and effectiveness of Liconor.
• Cholestyramine: May bind Ursodeoxycholic Acid and reduce its absorption and therapeutic effect.

Inform your doctor about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you are taking before starting Liconor.
