Ursodil SR Tablet

Ursodil SR Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (500mg). Prescription required.

Dissolution of cholesterol gallstones (in selected patients with functioning gallbladder), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)/cholestatic liver disease to improve liver enzymes and bile flow

Ursodeoxycholic acid is a hydrophilic bile acid that reduces cholesterol saturation of bile by decreasing hepatic cholesterol secretion and intestinal absorption. It also improves bile flow and protects liver cells from toxic bile acids in cholestatic conditions.

Tablet (sustained release): take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily after food or with meals; swallow whole with water—do not crush, chew, or break. Duration is often long-term (months); follow-up with ultrasound/liver function tests as advised.

Diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, constipation, headache, dizziness, rash, itching

Use only under medical supervision. Not suitable for calcified/non-cholesterol gallstones, non-functioning gallbladder, or biliary obstruction. Use with caution in severe liver disease, pancreatitis, or inflammatory bowel disease. Monitor liver function tests; stop and seek care if severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhoea, jaundice, or worsening symptoms occur.

Bile acid sequestrants (cholestyramine/colestipol), aluminium-based antacids (reduce absorption), cyclosporine (levels may change), estrogens/oral contraceptives and clofibrate (may increase gallstone risk), some lipid-lowering agents; separate cholestyramine/antacids by 2-4 hours

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
