Frequently asked questions
When should I take Uclick 300mg Tablet?
The recommended timing for taking Uclick 300mg Tablet might vary depending on your specific condition. Your doctor may prescribe you to take 2 to 3 doses per day, and suggest the last dose before bed. Uclick 300mg Tablet can be taken with water or milk and optionally with food. For patients with gallstones, it's typically taken once daily in the evening. Ideally, aim for a gap of 6 hours between doses, such as at 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm.
Is Uclick 300mg Tablet safe?
Uclick 300mg Tablet is generally considered a safe and effective medication. However, it may cause some common side effects like diarrhea. If you experience diarrhea, your doctor might adjust the dosage or consider discontinuing treatment if needed. Additionally, long-term use of this medication might affect liver enzyme levels. Regular monitoring of these enzymes by your doctor is recommended to assess any potential changes.
How does Uclick 300mg Tablet help the liver?
Uclick 300mg Tablet targets the liver and accumulates in bile secreted from the liver. This accumulation suppresses the liver's cholesterol production, thereby lowering cholesterol levels within the bile. Furthermore, it inhibits the intestines from absorbing bile salts and cholesterol. Consequently, reduced cholesterol saturation within the bile facilitates the gradual breakdown of gallstones, ultimately leading to a reduction in size and eventual dissolution. It also alleviates elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing bile flow through the liver, thereby protecting liver cells.
Does Uclick 300mg Tablet cause weight gain?
There is a possibility of experiencing weight gain while taking Uclick 300mg Tablet, but it's not typical. This medication may increase weight in individuals with liver disease caused by chronic bile stagnation in the small bile ducts of the liver. When this happens, bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine, leading to weight gain. It is important to note that the likelihood of weight gain varies significantly based on individual conditions.
What should I avoid while taking Uclick 300mg Tablet?
When taking Uclick 300mg Tablet, it's crucial to: * Avoid antacids without consulting your doctor as they can decrease the medication's effectiveness. * Stay away from medicines like cholestyramine or colestipol, which can negatively affect the medication's effectiveness. Be sure to consult your doctor for optimal dosage timing between these medications and Uclick 300mg Tablet. * Avoid taking oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and blood cholesterol-lowering agents such as clofibrate, as they may increase gallstone risk and counteract Uclick 300mg Tablet's effects.
