Elpihep Oral Suspension contains ursodeoxycholic acid (125 mg per 5 ml), which works on the body as follows:

• Decreases cholesterol absorption: Ursodeoxycholic acid reduces how much cholesterol your intestines absorb, which helps create less concentrated bile.

• Reduces hepatic cholesterol synthesis: It slows down the production of cholesterol in your liver, further helping to create less lithogenic (stone-forming) bile.

• Decreases cholesterol secretion: The medicine lowers the amount of cholesterol released into your bile, making it less likely for stones to form.

• Provides cytoprotection: It protects liver cells by replacing more harmful bile acids with its gentler, less toxic structure, reducing damage to liver cells and bile duct lining.

• Creates less lithogenic bile: By changing the composition of your bile, it helps existing gallstones dissolve gradually and prevents new ones from forming.

• Store Elpihep Oral Suspension in its original container below 25°C in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from direct light exposure.

• Protect the oral suspension from moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use, and avoid using Elpihep Oral Suspension beyond this date.

• If you have gallstones, reduce cholesterol in your diet by choosing lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and vegetables to support the medicine's stone-dissolving action.

• For primary biliary cirrhosis (an autoimmune liver condition), limit alcohol consumption completely, as it can worsen liver damage and interfere with Elpihep Oral Suspension's protective effects.
