Ursocol Sr 600 Tablet 10 is taken orally

Ursocol Sr 600 Tablet 10 contains ursodeoxycholic acid (600 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Reduces Cholesterol Production: Ursodeoxycholic acid decreases the amount of cholesterol your liver produces and secretes into bile, lowering the risk of cholesterol gallstone formation.

• Promotes Cholesterol Solubility: It helps make cholesterol more soluble in bile, which assists in dissolving existing cholesterol gallstones in your gallbladder.

• Protects Liver Cells: Ursodeoxycholic acid shields your liver cells from damage that can be caused by toxic bile acids, improving overall liver function.

• Decreases Inflammation: It reduces inflammation in the liver and bile ducts, which is particularly helpful for conditions like primary biliary cirrhosis where inflammation damages these structures.

Follow these instructions while storing Ursocol Sr 600 Tablet 10:

• Store the medication at temperatures not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Store in the original packaging to protect from environmental exposure.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you have gallstones, reduce foods high in cholesterol and saturated fats (like fried foods, fatty meats, and full-fat dairy products), as these can worsen gallstone formation.

• For liver conditions, limit alcohol consumption completely or significantly, as alcohol can cause additional stress on your liver and reduce the effectiveness of ursodeoxycholic acid.
