Udikast 300 Tablet
Udikast 300 Tablet is used to dissolve specific gallstones and prevent their formation. Another condition that it helps with is primary biliary cirrhosis, which is a liver illness. It assists in the digestion of cholesterol that has transformed into gallbladder stones, thereby dissolving them.
It is recommended to take Udikast 300 Tablet whole, preferably after a meal, with a glass of water or milk. Your body weight and the ailment being treated will determine the dosage. For optimal results, take it consistently for the recommended duration (several months or more). Even if your symptoms go away, you should continue taking it.
Nausea, rash, itching, diarrhea, hair loss, and abdominal pain are the most often reported side effects of this medication. Not all people experience these negative consequences. Tell your doctor if you’re worried about them or if they don’t disappear.
Any inflammation of the gallbladder or bile ducts, frequent cramp-like pain in the upper abdomen, blood in the cough, or rapid weight gain should be reported to the doctor before starting this medication. Please inform your doctor of all the medications you are taking, since this medication may interact with others to either enhance or decrease their effectiveness. Because of the increased risk of gallstone formation, women taking hormonal birth control tablets should stop using them immediately. Ultrasound scans or regular blood tests to monitor liver function may be necessary throughout treatment.
