Sorbidiol 300 Tablet contains ursodeoxycholic acid (300 mg), which acts on your body through various mechanisms:

• Reduces Cholesterol Secretion: Ursodeoxycholic acid lessens the secretion of cholesterol into bile, thereby assisting in the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

• Protects Liver Cells: This component has a protective effect on liver cells that are exposed to toxic bile acids by replacing them with less toxic alternatives.

• Stimulates Bile Flow: Ursodeoxycholic acid stimulates bile flow and bicarbonate secretion, which makes the bile less harmful.

• Immunomodulatory and Anti-inflammatory Properties: It possesses properties that modulate immune responses and reduce inflammation.

These actions collectively help improve liver function tests, protect liver cells, and facilitate the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones in certain scenarios.
