The timing for taking this medication may vary depending on your individual condition. Your doctor might recommend taking two to three doses per day, and suggest taking the last dose at bedtime. Uriliver 150mg Tablet can be taken with water or milk and is typically taken with food or after meals. If prescribed for dissolving gallstones, it is usually taken once daily in the evening.
Is Uriliver 150mg Tablet safe?
Uriliver 150mg Tablet is generally considered a safe and effective medication. However, some common side effects may occur, such as diarrhea. If you experience diarrhea, your doctor may adjust the dose or discontinue treatment. Additionally, long-term use of this medicine can affect liver enzyme levels, and your doctor will monitor your liver enzymes regularly to track potential changes.
How does Uriliver 150mg Tablet help the liver?
Uriliver 150mg Tablet works by affecting the bile produced by the liver. It concentrates in bile and suppresses cholesterol synthesis and secretion from the liver, reducing cholesterol levels within bile. This prevents cholesterol absorption by the intestines. By decreasing cholesterol saturation in bile, it helps dissolve gallstones over time, leading to a reduction in size and eventual dissolution.
Does Uriliver 150mg Tablet cause weight gain?
While taking Uriliver 150mg Tablet, there is a possibility of experiencing some weight gain. However, this side effect is not common for most individuals. In cases where liver disease is coupled with chronic bile stasis in the smaller bile ducts of the liver, this medication can lead to weight gain. This occurs because bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. It's important to consult your doctor if you notice any unexplained weight changes.
What should I avoid while taking Uriliver 150mg Tablet?
While on Uriliver 150mg Tablet, avoid taking antacids without consulting your doctor as this may decrease the medication's effectiveness.
