About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Hepanext 150 Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid 150 mg, a hydrophilic bile acid used primarily for the treatment of various hepatobiliary disorders. Ursodeoxycholic Acid acts by reducing the cholesterol saturation of bile and improving bile flow, thereby facilitating the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones and preventing their formation. It is also indicated in the management of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), where it helps to improve liver function by protecting cholangiocytes against cytotoxicity of hydrophobic bile acids, stimulating hepatobiliary secretion, and exerting immunomodulatory effects. Hepanext 150 is prescribed to patients with non-calcified cholesterol gallstones who are symptomatic but unsuitable for surgical intervention, as well as those with chronic cholestatic liver diseases. The usual dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific indication and patient response, and therapy should be initiated under medical supervision with periodic monitoring of liver function tests. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. Hepanext 150 should be used with caution in patients with biliary obstruction or acute inflammation of the gallbladder. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Ursodeoxycholic Acid or its excipients.

About Ursodeoxycholic Acid

Ursodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid used primarily in the treatment of gallstones and primary biliary cholangitis, an autoimmune liver disease. It works by reducing cholesterol levels in bile, thus aiding in the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones and improving liver function. Additionally, it is indicated for treating liver diseases in children and is beneficial in managing conditions related to cystic fibrosis. Its clinical significance lies in its ability to enhance bile flow and protect liver cells from damage. In summary, ursodeoxycholic acid is essential for promoting liver health and managing cholesterol-related disorders.

How It Works

Ursodeoxycholic acid reduces cholesterol absorption in the intestine and promotes the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones by decreasing hepatic cholesterol secretion and increasing bile salt concentration.
