1. WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
The medicine is intended for the dissolution
or reduction in size of gallstones composed of
cholesterol, and for treatment of certain chronic liver
diseases.
THERAPEUTIC CLASS: bile acids.
Ursodeoxycholic acid affects the bile composition, so
that the gallstones dissolve.
The effect of ursodeoxycholic acid in some chronic
liver diseases results from a variety of mechanisms,
such as a protective activity on liver cells and effect
on the immune system.

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS.
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Dissolution or reduction in size of radiolucent cholesterol in patient
with a functioning
gallbladder.
Treatment of chronic liver diseases including primary billiary
cirrhosis, primary
sclerosing cholangitis, cystic fibrosis associated liver disease,
billiary atresia, chronic
hepatitis, and alcohol cirrhosis.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Gallstone dissolution:_ 8 to 12 mg/kg/day given in 2 divided doses.
If doses are unequal the larger dose should be taken in late evening
to counteract
the rise in biliary cholesterol saturation which occurs in the early
morning. The late
evening dose may usefully be taken with food to help maintain bile
flow overnight.
The time required for dissolution of gallstones is likely to range
from 6 to 24 months
depending on stone size and composition. Follow-up cholecystograms or
ultrasound
investigation may be useful at 6 month intervals until the gallstones
have
disappeared.
Treatment should be continued until 2 successive cholecystograms
and/or ultrasound
investigations 4-12 weeks apart have failed to demonstrate gallstones.
This is
because these techniques do not permit reliable visualisation of
stones less than
2mm in diameter.
The efficiency of Ursolit in treating radio-opaque or partially radio
opaque gallstones
has not been tested but these are generally thought to be less soluble
than
radiolucent stones.
