About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Monoliv-UD Tablet is a prescription medication containing Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) 300mg, indicated for the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). UDCA is a bile acid that is naturally present in the liver and is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol and the formation of bile. The exact mechanism of action of Monoliv-UD in PBC and PSC is not fully understood, but it is believed to exert its therapeutic effects by modulating the immune response and promoting the formation of bile. Monoliv-UD has been shown to improve liver function and reduce the risk of complications in patients with PBC and PSC. The most common adverse reactions to Monoliv-UD include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Rare but serious reactions include cholestasis, jaundice, and pancreatitis. Monoliv-UD should be used with caution in patients with a history of kidney disease or liver disease. The recommended dose is 300mg taken orally three times daily.

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.
