Ursodeoxycholic acid treatment

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a medication used to improve liver health by helping dissolve certain types of gallstones and improving bile flow from the liver. Bile is a fluid that aids digestion and carries waste away from the liver. UDCA works by reducing the cholesterol content in bile, preventing stone formation, and protecting liver cells from damage. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like primary biliary cholangitis and certain gallstones. Patients typically take it orally, and it’s considered effective and safe when used under medical supervision.
