Frequently asked questions
When should I take Udizit 150mg Tablet?
The timing of taking this medicine might vary depending on your individual condition. Your doctor may instruct you to take two to three doses per day and suggest taking the last dose at bedtime. Udizit 150mg Tablet can be taken with water or milk, and it can be taken with or after food. For patients with gallstones, it is usually recommended to take one dose daily in the evening. Ideally, this should be taken at a 6-hour interval, such as 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm.
Is Udizit 150mg Tablet safe?
Udizit 150mg Tablet is generally considered safe and effective. However, it may cause some common side effects such as diarrhea. If you experience diarrhea, your doctor may adjust the dosage. Additionally, long-term use of this medication can affect liver enzyme levels. Your doctor will regularly monitor these levels to ensure proper safety.
How does Udizit 150mg Tablet help the liver?
Udizit 150mg Tablet works by targeting the liver and concentrating in the bile secreted from the liver. This leads to a reduction in cholesterol synthesis and secretion by the liver, decreasing the levels of cholesterol in bile. The medicine also inhibits the intestines from absorbing bile salts and cholesterol. Consequently, reduced cholesterol saturation in the bile causes gradual dissolution of gallstones, resulting in their decrease in size and eventual breakdown. It also helps reduce elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing bile flow through the liver, thereby protecting the liver cells.
Does Udizit 150mg Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, there is a possibility of weight gain when taking Udizit 150mg Tablet. However, this side effect is not very common. In patients with liver disease associated with chronic bile stasis in the small bile ducts of the liver, weight gain may occur. This condition occurs when bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. Weight gain can vary from person to person depending on the underlying cause, so consult your doctor if you experience any weight gain.

Avoid taking an antacid preparation without consulting your doctor as it can reduce the effectiveness of Udizit 150mg Tablet.

Speak to your doctor about a suitable time interval between taking Udizit 150mg Tablet and these other medicines.
