Ursodex is indicated for the management of various hepatobiliary disorders, including:
Ursodex helps reduce the cholesterol content and saturation of bile, promoting the gradual dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. It decreases cholesterol secretion into bile while enhancing bile acid secretion without reducing phospholipid levels. This action improves bile flow and supports liver function in cholestatic liver diseases.

Ursodex contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid, a naturally occurring bile acid used in the treatment of different liver and biliary disorders. It works by lowering cholesterol concentration in bile through several mechanisms:
Ursodeoxycholic Acid also promotes the formation of liquid cholesterol crystal complexes, facilitating the removal of cholesterol from the gallbladder into the intestine for elimination.
In cholestatic liver diseases, Ursodeoxycholic Acid exerts protective effects by:
After oral administration, it is well absorbed from the upper intestine and undergoes hepatic conjugation before being secreted into bile. Its biological half-life ranges from approximately 3.5 to 5.8 days.
Dosage should be individualized according to the disease condition and body weight.
Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by the physician.
However, use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should always be under medical supervision.
Avoid concomitant use with medications that increase cholesterol concentration in bile, such as estrogen-containing hormones.
The effectiveness of Ursodex may be reduced when used together with bile acid-binding agents, including:
A suitable time interval should be maintained between these medications and Ursodex.
Use Ursodex cautiously in patients with pre-existing liver disease. Regular monitoring of liver function may be recommended during prolonged therapy.
Store below 25°C in a dry place protected from heat, light, and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
