Ursonius
Composition:
• Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) – 300 mg
Form: Tablet
Description:
Ursonius contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (300 mg), a naturally occurring bile acid used to treat
liver and gallbladder disorders. It works by reducing the production and absorption of
cholesterol and promoting its dissolution in bile, making it effective in treating cholesterol-based
gallstones and improving liver function.
It is especially indicated in patients with primary biliary cholangitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD), and for the dissolution of small, radiolucent gallstones in patients who are not
suitable for surgery.
