Estuchol 300 Tablet 15 contains ursodeoxycholic acid (300mg), which works on the body through multiple mechanisms:

• Cholestasis reduction: Cholestasis is a condition where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum. Ursodeoxycholic acid helps manage cholestasis by displacing other toxic bile acids from the bile acid pool.

• Immunomodulation: Inflammation is a response by your body's immune system to injury or infection. This medicine has properties that help reduce inflammation in the liver and bile ducts.

• Gallstone dissolution: Gallstones are hard deposits that form in your gallbladder. This medicine reduces cholesterol saturation in bile, which can gradually dissolve cholesterol-rich gallstones over time.

• Store Estuchol 300 Tablet 15 at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

• Ensure the tablet is kept away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Always keep it out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiration date before taking the medicine.

• For those managing Primary Biliary Cholangitis with Estuchol 300 Tablet 15, consider a low-sodium diet. This can help reduce the risk of cirrhosis and fluid build-up in your body.

• If you're using Estuchol 300 Tablet 15 for gallstone prevention or dissolution, try incorporating a low-fat diet. This could potentially reduce cholesterol levels, decreasing the chance of gallstone formation.
