About
Ursodeoxycholic acid (300 mg tablets, also known as ursodiol) is primarily used to treat certain gallbladder and liver disorders. It works by reducing cholesterol production in the liver and helping to dissolve cholesterol-based gallstones, while also protecting liver cells from damage caused by toxic bile acids.

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC): It is a first-line and FDA-approved treatment for PBC (an autoimmune disease that damages the bile ducts in the liver), helping to improve liver function and delay the progression of the disease.
