About Urdohep SL 140 mg/300 mg Tablet

SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID belongs to a group of medicines called the biliary agent or gall stone dissolution agents used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis and gall stones. Primary biliary cholangitis, formerly known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease caused by damage of bile ducts in the liver. Biliary cirrhosis causes a build-up of bile in the liver, which leads to liver damage.  
 
SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ursodeoxycholic acid and Silymarin. Ursodeoxycholic acid helps in decreasing the production of cholesterol in the blood, thereby dissolves gall bladder stones. Silymarin has immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-fibrotic properties. SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID has a protective effect on the liver cells and the immune system, thereby helps in improving liver function.

Medicinal Benefits of Urdohep SL 140 mg/300 mg Tablet

SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID belongs to a group of medicines called the biliary agent or gall stone dissolution agents used to treat gall stones, primary biliary cholangitis (an autoimmune disease of the liver), and excess cholesterol in bile. SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID contains ursodeoxycholic acid and silymarin. Ursodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that breaks down the cholesterol that has formed into gall bladder stones, thereby dissolves the stones. Silymarin has immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-fibrotic properties. SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID has a protective effect on the liver cells and the immune system, thereby helps in improving liver function. SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID decreases the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestine. In patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, SILYMARIN+URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID increases the bile flow.
