Ursomed Capsule 250mg contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid, a naturally occurring bile acid used to dissolve gallstones and treat various liver diseases. This medication protects liver cells, reduces cholesterol in bile, and improves bile flow. Uses Ursomed treats cholesterol gallstones in patients who cannot undergo surgery. It’s used for primary biliary cholangitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and chronic hepatitis. Ursomed also treats intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and helps prevent gallstone formation after rapid weight loss. Benefits Dissolves cholesterol gallstones without surgery Protects liver cells from toxic bile acids Reduces cholesterol levels in bile Improves liver function test results Slows progression of primary biliary cholangitis Relieves itching associated with liver disease Prevents gallstone recurrence Well-tolerated with minimal side effects Suitable for long-term use How It Works Ursomed works by reducing cholesterol production in the liver and decreasing cholesterol absorption from intestines. It replaces toxic bile acids with non-toxic ursodeoxycholic acid, protecting liver cells from damage. The medication also stimulates bile flow and gradually dissolves cholesterol-based gallstones by making bile less saturated. Dosage Condition Daily Dosage Frequency Gallstone Dissolution 10-15mg/kg body weight 2-3 divided doses Liver Disease 13-15mg/kg body weight 2-3 divided doses Take Ursomed with meals or shortly after eating. Swallow capsules whole with water. Treatment duration varies from months to years depending on condition. Duration of Action Ursomed begins working immediately after absorption but requires prolonged use for visible results. Gallstone dissolution typically takes 6-24 months depending on stone size and composition. Liver function improvements may be noticed within 3-6 months. Effects persist only with continued treatment. Side Effects Common side effects include mild diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. Some patients experience headache or dizziness. Rarely, calcification of gallstones or allergic reactions may occur. Most side effects are mild and resolve without discontinuation. Warning Ursomed is ineffective for calcified or radiopaque gallstones. Not suitable for acute cholecystitis, biliary obstruction, or frequent biliary colic attacks. Regular monitoring of liver function and gallbladder ultrasound is required during treatment. Discontinue if gallstones calcify or gallbladder function deteriorates. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Ursomed can be used during pregnancy, particularly for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy under medical supervision. Limited data suggests low transfer into breast milk. Benefits generally outweigh risks during breastfeeding, but consultation with healthcare provider is recommended.

Regular monitoring with liver function tests and gallbladder ultrasound every 6-12 months is essential. Ensure adequate hydration during treatment. Women of childbearing age should use non-hormonal contraception during gallstone dissolution therapy.
