Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) 300 mg is a medication primarily used to treat liver-related conditions, particularly those involving bile acid imbalances. It’s a naturally occurring bile acid that helps to improve liver function and is often prescribed for:

1. Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC):

   • A chronic liver disease that slowly destroys the bile ducts in the liver, leading to liver damage. Ursodeoxycholic acid helps to improve liver function in patients with PBC.

2. Gallstones:

   • It’s used to dissolve certain types of cholesterol gallstones that cannot be removed surgically.

3. Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD):

   • It may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and liver damage associated with this condition.

4. Other Cholestatic Liver Diseases:

   • Used in cases where bile flow is impaired (cholestasis).

• Ursodeoxycholic acid works by reducing the amount of cholesterol in the bile, improving the flow of bile from the liver, and protecting liver cells from damage. It also helps to reduce the production of harmful bile acids in the liver.

• The usual dose is 300 mg taken one to four times a day, depending on the condition being treated.

• The dosage might vary based on individual needs and the doctor's recommendation.

While generally well-tolerated, some possible side effects include:

• Gastrointestinal issues: nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.

• Liver-related effects: in rare cases, Ursodeoxycholic acid can cause liver enzyme changes.

• Skin rash or itching.

• Headache or dizziness.

(Note: Strengths may vary based on manufacturer. Always refer to product label.)

• Treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria, including multi-drug resistant strains, in children.

• Artemether rapidly kills parasites by producing free radicals within the parasite.

• Lumefantrine interferes with the parasite’s ability to detoxify heme, leading to parasite death.

Together, they provide a synergistic effect for rapid parasite clearance and sustained treatment response.

• To be administered orally after reconstitution with clean, boiled and cooled water as per label instructions.

• Dosage depends on the child’s body weight and should follow the prescribing doctor’s guidance.
