Frequently asked questions
When should I take Udimarin SR 450 Tablet?
The timing of taking this medicine might depend on your individual condition. Your doctor may prescribe you to take 2 to 3 doses daily, and suggest the last dose at bedtime. Udimarin SR 450 Tablet can be taken with water or milk, and optionally with food.
Is Udimarin SR 450 Tablet safe?
Udimarin SR 450 Tablet is generally considered a safe and effective medication. However, like any other drug, it may cause side effects, such as diarrhea. If you experience diarrhea, your doctor might reduce the dosage, or potentially discontinue treatment if it persists. It's also important to note that long-term use of this medicine could impact liver enzyme levels, which your doctor will monitor regularly.
How does Udimarin SR 450 Tablet help the liver?
Udimarin SR 450 Tablet acts on the liver and concentrates in the bile secreted by the liver. This action suppresses cholesterol synthesis and secretion from the liver, decreasing cholesterol levels in bile. Additionally, it prevents the intestines from absorbing bile salts and cholesterol. This reduced cholesterol saturation in the bile from the liver leads to the gradual dissolution of cholesterol gallstones, resulting in size reduction and eventual dissolution. Furthermore, this medication reduces elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing bile flow through the liver, thereby protecting liver cells.
Does Udimarin SR 450 Tablet cause weight gain?
There is a potential for weight gain when taking Udimarin SR 450 Tablet. This effect isn't common but can occur. In patients with liver disease associated with chronic bile stasis in the small bile ducts of the liver, the medication might cause weight gain. This is because bile flow from the liver to the intestines becomes disrupted. The amount of weight gain varies significantly from individual to individual depending on their specific condition and should be discussed with a healthcare professional if you notice any changes.
What should I avoid while taking Udimarin SR 450 Tablet?
Avoid combining Udimarin SR 450 Tablet with antacid preparations without consulting your doctor, as they can negatively affect the medication's effectiveness. Also, avoid medications like cholestyramine or colestipol, as they could impact the efficiency of Udimarin SR 450 Tablet.
