Description
Ursofalk 250mg Capsules 50s contain ursodeoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid used to dissolve cholesterol-rich gallstones and to manage certain chronic liver conditions. Made by Dr. Falk Pharma, each hard gelatin capsule delivers 250mg of ursodeoxycholic acid in a convenient pack of 50. This prescription medicine works gradually to improve bile flow and support healthy liver function under a doctor's guidance.
How It Works
Ursodeoxycholic acid works by reducing the amount of cholesterol that the liver releases into bile. Lowering this cholesterol saturation allows cholesterol-rich gallstones to dissolve slowly over time. It also helps protect liver cells from more toxic bile acids and improves bile flow, which can ease symptoms in conditions such as primary biliary cholangitis.
Important Information
Ursofalk should not be used if you have a non-functioning gallbladder, acute gallbladder or bile duct inflammation, bile duct blockage, or calcified gallstones. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and note that women using it to dissolve gallstones should use non-hormonal contraception. Mild diarrhoea is the most common side effect. Always consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist before use, take only as prescribed, store below 25 degrees C and keep out of reach of children.
Ingredients
This medicine is built around a single, well-established active ingredient:
• Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) 250mg: a naturally occurring bile acid that reduces bile cholesterol and supports liver function.
• Presented as a hard gelatin capsule, with 50 capsules per pack.
How to Use
Ursofalk is a prescription medicine and the dose is calculated by your doctor based on your body weight and condition, typically in the range of 10 to 15mg per kilogram each day. For gallstone dissolution it is usually divided across the day, while for primary biliary cholangitis it may be taken once daily in the evening after the first few months.
1. Swallow the capsules whole with plenty of liquid, preferably with or after meals.
2. Take your doses regularly and consistently for the treatment to be effective.
3. Do not stop treatment early; gallstone therapy can continue for up to two years.
4. Attend the liver function checks your doctor arranges during treatment.
