Ursocol SR 450 Capsule contains ursodeoxycholic acid (450 mg), which functions in the following ways:

• Enhancement of Bile Flow: The active ingredient increases bile flow through the liver, thereby offering protection to liver cells.

• Reduction of Cholesterol Saturation: The medicine reduces the saturation of biliary cholesterol by decreasing intestinal absorption and suppressing new cholesterol formation.

• Solubilisation of Cholesterol: Ursodeoxycholic acid solubilises cholesterol from gallstones gradually, leading to their dissolution over time.

This sustained-release formulation ensures a steady supply of ursodeoxycholic acid over an extended period for a prolonged effect.

• Keep the medicine away from direct light and avoid damp places.

• If you're managing primary biliary cirrhosis, consider a low-sodium diet as high sodium can worsen liver damage.

• Since Ursocol SR 450 Capsule is also used to dissolve cholesterol gallstones, maintaining a diet low in saturated fats may be beneficial. It's wise to consult your doctor for specific dietary advice.
