Pharmacological action

Ursoliv has hepatoprotective, choleretic, cholelitholytic, hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic and some immunomodulatory effects.

In vitro studies have shown that ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has a direct protective effect on liver cells and reduces the hepatotoxicity of hydrophobic bile salts.

The main effects of UDCA on cholesterol metabolism include: lowering cholesterol secretion, decreasing its intestinal absorption and stimulating cholesterol from cholesterol stones to bile.

UDCA, inhibiting GMK-CoA reductase, also has a moderate inhibitory effect on the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, increases the solubility of cholesterol in the biliary system.

Causes partial or complete dissolution of cholesterol gallstones during enteral use, reduces the saturation of bile with cholesterol, stimulates the formation and secretion of bile, accelerates the elimination of toxic bile acids through the intestines.

When taken orally, the proportion of UDCA in the total pool of bile acids increases significantly. UDCA competes with other bile acids during absorption in the small intestine, as well as with penetration of hepatocyte through the membrane, which leads to a decrease in the absorption of toxic bile acids in the intestine and their entry into the liver, preventing their cytopathogenic effect.

Reduces the lithogenicity of bile, increases the concentration of bile acids in it, causes an increase in gastric and pancreatic secretion, enhances lipase activity, and has a hypoglycemic effect.

Has an effect on immunological reactions, reducing the pathological expression of the antigens of the main histocompatibility complex HLA I on hepatocytes and HLA II on cholangiocytes, inhibits the production of interleukin 2, reduces the number of eosinophils

To prevent re-formation of stones, it is recommended that you take the drug for a few more months after the stones dissolve.

In the symptomatic treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis, the daily dose depends on body weight and ranges from 2 to 6 capsules (10 to 15 mg / kg body weight).

The drug is taken with food, washed down with enough water.

Side effects

Allergic reactions.

Drug Interaction

When used together, aluminum-containing antacids and ion-exchange resins (cholestyramine) reduce the absorption of UDCA.

When used concomitantly with lipid-lowering drugs (especially clofibrate), estrogens, neomycin or progestogens (oral contraceptives) increase bile saturation with cholesterol and may reduce the ability of ursodeoxycholic acid to dissolve cholesterol gallstones.

When used at the same time, UDCA can increase cyclosporine absorption.

Storage Conditions

Store in a dry, dark place at a temperature not exceeding 25oC.

Shelf life

4 years.
