Ursodeoxycholic Acid is one of the secondary bile acids, which are
metabolic byproducts of intestinal bacteria.It is believed to inhibit
apoptosis. Ursodeoxycholic Acid can be used as stones dissolving
drugs.It is used for the appropriate surgical treatment of
Cholesterol-type gallstones and so on.
Surgery is the usual treatment for gallstones that are causing symptoms, but treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid may dissolve smaller stones which are made mainly of cholesterol. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol released by your liver into bile and by slowly dispersing the cholesterol. This breaks up the stones.
Some ursodeoxycholic acid preparations can also help to treat primary biliary cirrhosis. This is a condition that slowly damages the bile ducts in the liver, and as the disease progresses, it can damage the liver.
