Udcament Suspension is primarily used to manage primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic autoimmune disease that progressively damages the small bile ducts in the liver. This medicine belongs to the class of medications known as bile acids.
In addition to its main use, this suspension also helps in improving the flow of bile and protecting liver cells. It displaces toxic hydrophobic bile acids from the bile acid pool, reduces oxidative stress, and decreases apoptosis in liver cells. This leads to slower progression of bile duct damage and fibrosis in PBC patients.
