Side Effects

Itching is one of the common side effects of Filoca 10mg Tablet

Filoca 10mg Tablet stimulates Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a chemical that regulates synthesis and transport of bile acid, lipid metabolism and regulation of glucose levels. It inhibits bile acid synthesis and increases bile acid secretions, reducing the bile acid pool in the liver and hence preventing its toxic effects.
