Frequently asked questions
When should I take Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR?
The timing of taking Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR may vary depending on your individual condition. Your doctor may recommend taking 2 to 3 doses per day, with the last dose taken at bedtime. It's essential to take the medication with water, milk, and with or after food. For patients prescribed Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR for dissolving gallstones, it's typically recommended to take one dose daily at night. Ideally, the medication should be taken at a gap of 6 hours, such as 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm. It's crucial to follow your doctor's specific instructions for taking this medication.
Is Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR safe?
Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR is generally considered a safe and effective medication. However, it may cause some common side effects, such as diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, your doctor may adjust your dose or discontinue treatment if it persists. Additionally, long-term use of this medication may affect liver enzyme levels. To monitor this, your doctor will regularly check your liver enzyme levels. Despite these minor side effects, Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR is often a suitable alternative to surgery for some patients with gallstones.
How does Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR help the liver?
Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR acts on the liver, concentrating in the bile secreted from the liver. This suppresses the synthesis and secretion of cholesterol by the liver, reducing cholesterol levels in bile. The medication also prevents the intestines from absorbing bile salts and cholesterol. As a result, the reduced cholesterol saturation in bile from the liver leads to the gradual dissolution of cholesterol from gallstones, causing a decrease in size and eventual dissolution. It also reduces elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing bile flow through the liver, protecting liver cells.
Does Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR cause weight gain?
Yes, weight gain is a possible side effect of Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR, although it is not common. This medication can cause weight gain in patients with liver disease associated with chronic bile stasis in small bile ducts of the liver. In this condition, bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. The likelihood of weight gain varies from person to person, depending on the underlying disease. If you experience weight gain while taking Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR, consult your doctor for guidance.
What should I avoid while taking Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR?
While taking Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR, avoid taking antacid preparations without consulting your doctor, as they can decrease the medication's effectiveness. You should also avoid medicines like cholestyramine or colestipol, as they can affect the effectiveness of Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR. Ask your doctor about the recommended time gap between taking Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR and these medications. Additionally, avoid taking oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and blood cholesterol-lowering agents like clofibrate, as they may increase the risk of developing gallstones and counteract the effects of Udiyesh 600mg Tablet SR.
