Which medicine containing Ursodeoxycholic Acid is most used to reduce Bile Reflux? ## Ursodiol is the brand name of ursodeoxycholic acid that I hear of most, so I'd personally suggest giving that a try. Other brand names worth considering are: Actigall, Urso Forte, Urso 250. I hope this helps!

Can anyone please tell me the purpose of this medicine? ## Urdiogem (Ursodeoxycholic Acid) is manufactured in India, so it is difficult to locate detailed information about it in the US drug databases. I did the retrieve the US version of this pill to be Ursodiol (also known as Ursodeoxycholic Acid). Ursodeoxycholic acid helps regulate cholesterol by reducing the rate at which the GI tract absorbs cholesterol molecules while breaking up micelles containing cholesterol. Because of this property, ursodeoxycholic acid is used to treat (cholesterol) gallstones non-surgically. I hope this helps!

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE USAGE FOR NEFROSAVE AND URSOCOL 300 ## Ursodiol, also known as ursodeoxycholic acid and the abbreviation UDCA, is one of the secondary bile acids, which are metabolic byproducts of intestinal bacteria. Primary bile acids are produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. When secreted into the colon, primary bile acids can be metabolized into secondary bile acids by intestinal bacteria. Primary and secondary bile acids help the body digest fats. Ursodeoxycholic acid helps regulate cholesterol by reducing the rate at which the intestine absorbs cholesterol molecules while breaking up micelles containing cholesterol. Because of this property, ursodeoxycholic acid is used to treat (cholesterol) gallstones non-surgically. Nefrosave is manufactured out of India,...

How to take Ursocol 300? What are ite side effects? How long one should take? ## Ursodiol 300 mg (Ursodeoxycholic Acid), comes in capsule form, and is taken orally. Side effects include: Diarrhea, constipation, upset stomach, indigestion, dizziness, vomiting, cough, sore throat, runny nose, back pain, muscle and joint pain, hair loss.
