Obetohep 10 Tablet is prescribed for adults with primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic liver disease. It works by activating certain receptors to improve liver function. This medicine is used alongside ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) when needed or alone if UDCA is not tolerated.
Primary biliary cholangitis is a long-term condition where the bile ducts in your liver deteriorate gradually. As these ducts degrade, it results in a buildup of bile, a vital fluid for digestion and vitamin absorption, within the liver.
Before you use this tablet, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as this tablet is not recommended in this group. Before starting treatment with this tablet, your doctor can suggest a blood test to assess your current liver function and overall health.
