Ursodeoxycholic Tablets : Ursodeoxycholic Acid is often used to treat gallstones. It is also used for primary biliary cholangitis, which is an autoimmune disease that affects the liver, plus excess cholesterol in the bile. It can even be given to children older than 6 years for biliary and hepatic conditions linked to cystic fibrosis.
Ursodeoxycholic Acid has ursodeoxycholic acid inside it, and that helps lower the production of cholesterol in the blood, so the gallbladder stones that are mostly made of cholesterol can dissolve over time.
Medical Benefits:

- Ursodeoxycholic Acid lowers the amount of cholesterol secreted by the liver and absorbed by the intestine.
