OBENOW 5 TABLET 10 contains obeticholic acid (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• FXR activation: Obeticholic acid acts as a potent and selective agonist of farnesoid X receptors (FXR), which are nuclear receptors found primarily in the liver, intestines, and kidneys.

• Bile acid regulation: It reduces the synthesis of bile acids in the liver by suppressing the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids, thereby decreasing the overall bile acid pool in the body.

• Enhanced bile transport: Obeticholic acid improves the transport and removal of bile acids from the liver, helping to reduce the toxic build-up of bile that can damage liver cells.

• Anti-inflammatory action: By modulating bile acid homeostasis, it helps reduce inflammation in the liver tissue, which is beneficial for patients with primary biliary cholangitis.

• Store OBENOW 5 TABLET 10 in its original packaging at temperatures below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.

• Maintain a low-fat diet to help reduce the workload on your liver and bile ducts, which can help manage primary biliary cholangitis (a condition where bile ducts in the liver become damaged).
