How it works

Obetohep 5 Tablet stimulates Farnesoid X receptor (fxr), a chemical that regulates synthesis and transport of bile acid, lipid metabolism and regulation of glucose levels. Obetohep 5 Tablet inhibits bile acid synthesis and increases bile acid secretions. This reduces the bile acid pool in the liver and hence prevents its toxic effects. Therefore, it helps to improve liver function.
