About Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA)
Ursodeoxycholic acid was originally extracted from bears and can now be produced artificially. It is widely used in the treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases and has choleretic function.
It is used in medicine to increase the secretion of bile acid, change the composition of bile, reduce cholesterol and cholesterol lipid in bile, and help the cholesterol in gallstones to gradually dissolve.
Ursodeoxycholic acid can reduce the secretion of cholesterol by the liver, reduce the saturation of cholesterol in bile, promote the secretion of bile acid, increase the solubility of cholesterol in bile, dissolve cholesterol stones or prevent the formation of stones. It can increase bile secretion, relax the bile duct sphincter and produce choleretic effect, which is beneficial to the discharge of stones.
Ursodeoxycholic acid is used to treat gallstones, cholestatic liver disease, fatty liver, various types of hepatitis, toxic liver disorders, cholecystitis, cholangitis and biliary dyspepsia, bile reflux gastritis, eye diseases, etc.
