• Cholesterol Reduction: Ursodeoxycholic acid decreases cholesterol secretion into bile by inhibiting its absorption in your gut and suppressing its synthesis in your liver. This reduces the saturation of bile with cholesterol.

• Gallstone Management: It increases the solubility of cholesterol in bile, dissolving stones and preventing new stone formation.

• Bile Flow Improvement: It has immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties that improve bile flow in PBC and protect liver cells.
