Urso 100
Overview:
Urso 100 contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid that supports liver health, improves bile flow, and aids in dissolving cholesterol gallstones. It is commonly used for liver and biliary tract conditions, particularly those associated with cholestasis and gallstone formation.
Indications for Use
Cholesterol Gallstones:
- Dissolution of small to moderate-sized cholesterol gallstones in patients with functioning gallbladders.
Chronic Cholecystitis and Cholangitis:
- Management of chronic inflammation of the gallbladder and bile ducts associated with cholestasis.
Biliary Dyskinesia:
- Improves bile flow and alleviates symptoms of biliary tract dysfunction.
Prevention of Liver Damage:
- Reduces hepatotoxicity during cytostatic therapy or conditions affecting bile flow.
Contraindications
Acute Inflammatory Conditions:
- Acute cholecystitis or cholangitis.
Advanced Liver Disease:
- Decompensated cirrhosis or advanced liver dysfunction.
Acute Intestinal Disorders:
- Acute conditions like enteritis or colitis.
Severe Organ Dysfunction:
- Significant impairment of the kidney, liver, or pancreas.
Side Effects
Gastrointestinal System:
- Nausea, epigastric pain, diarrhea, or constipation.
Skin Reactions:
- Pruritus (itching); rarely, skin rash.
Special Instructions
Monitoring Liver Function:
- Perform monthly monitoring of liver enzymes (e.g., AST, ALT, GGT) during therapy to evaluate liver health and the effectiveness of treatment.
Post-Stone Dissolution Therapy:
- Continue treatment for at least 3–6 months after gallstone dissolution to minimize recurrence.
Drug Interactions:
- Avoid use with drugs that reduce bile acid absorption (e.g., cholestyramine) or increase bile cholesterol levels (e.g., estrogen-containing contraceptives).
Consultation Required
Before starting Urso 100:
- Consult a healthcare provider to determine suitability and ensure accurate dosing.
- A thorough evaluation of liver and biliary function is recommended before initiating therapy.
Avoid self-medication, as inappropriate use may result in adverse effects or reduced efficacy.
By adhering to medical guidance, Urso 100 can effectively manage liver and biliary tract conditions and support overall liver health.
