# Drug Description ## Brand Name: Ursofalk 250 mg ## Generic Name: Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) ## About the Drug:Ursofalk contains ursodeoxycholic acid, a bile acid that helps improve the flow of bile in your liver and gallbladder. It is commonly used to help dissolve certain types of gallstones, support people with some liver and bile duct conditions, and reduce symptoms caused by poor bile flow. This medicine works gradually, so it is usually taken for weeks or months, depending on your condition and your doctor’s advice. ## Indications: When do you need this medication?* Gallstones made of cholesterol: Helps dissolve small cholesterol gallstones in people who do not need surgery and whose gallbladder is still working.* Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC): Helps improve bile flow and supports liver function in this long-term liver condition.* Bile flow problems (cholestasis): Helps reduce buildup of bile in the liver, which may ease itching and improve liver test results in some patients.* Certain liver and bile-related disorders in children and adults: Used in some cases to support bile drainage and liver health, as directed by a specialist. ## Dosage and Administration: How to use the drug safely and effectively?* Usual Dosage: * The dose depends on your body weight and the condition being treated. * For gallstones and some bile/liver conditions, the usual total daily dose is often 8 to 10 mg per kg of body weight per day, divided into 2 to 3 doses. * For primary biliary cholangitis, the dose is often higher, usually 13 to 15 mg per kg per day, divided into 2 to 4 doses. * Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your weight, lab tests, and response to treatment.* Method of Administration: * Take the capsules by mouth with water. * You may take them with food or after meals to help reduce stomach upset. * Try to take the medicine at the same times every day. * Swallow the capsule whole unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you otherwise. * If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose—do not double the dose. If you want, I can also add the following sections in the same style: side effects, warnings, drug interactions, and storage.
