About Udivor-Plus Tablet

Udivor-Plus Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called the biliary agent or gall stone dissolution agents used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis and gall stones. Primary biliary cholangitis, formerly known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease caused by damage of bile ducts in the liver. Biliary cirrhosis causes a build-up of bile in the liver, which leads to liver damage.  
Udivor-Plus Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ursodeoxycholic acid and Silymarin. Ursodeoxycholic acid helps in decreasing the production of cholesterol in the blood, thereby dissolving gall bladder stones. Silymarin has immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-fibrotic properties. Udivor-Plus Tablet has a protective effect on the liver cells and the immune system, thereby helps in improving liver function.
 
You are advised to take Udivor-Plus Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, nausea, rash, dizziness, indigestion, and weakness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Do not discontinue Udivor-Plus Tablet without consulting your doctor. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Udivor-Plus Tablet for as long as prescribed. Consult your doctor before taking Udivor-Plus Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Udivor-Plus Tablet should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Udivor-Plus Tablet as it could lead to liver damage. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Primary biliary cholangitis: Primary biliary cholangitis, formerly known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease caused by damage of bile ducts in the liver. Bile ducts are the small channels that carry the bile (digestive fluid) from the liver to the small intestine, where it breaks down fats and aids in its absorption. Biliary cirrhosis causes a build-up of bile in the liver, which leads to liver damage.  

Gallbladder stones: The gallbladder is a small organ located below the liver that stores bile, a liquid that helps with digestion. Excess cholesterol in bile leads to the formation of gallstones. Gallstones can cause pain in the abdomen, dark urine and stools, indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting.
