Sedogest SR 450 Tablet

Sedogest SR 450 mg tablet contains the active ingredient Ursodeoxycholic acid. It is classified as a Hepatoprotective agent. This medicine is prescribed for liver and biliary conditions in patients with cystic fibrosis and primary biliary cholangitis. Primary biliary cholangitis is a liver disorder in which impaired bile drainage causes damage to liver tissues. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder affecting the liver and bile ducts, characterised by thickened mucus in the body that leads to obstruction and inflammation.

Do not take this tablet if you are allergic to Ursodeoxycholic acid or any other ingredient in this medicine. Before commencing treatment, inform your doctor if you have acute inflammation, non-functional gallbladder, narrowing or blockage of the bile ducts, or a history of gallbladder conditions. If you have a history of liver disease or obstruction in bile passage, your doctor may monitor your liver function every four weeks during the first three months of treatment. Such monitoring also enables early detection of acute liver failure, particularly in patients with advanced primary biliary cholangitis.
