Product Introduction
Urnoz 300mg tablet contains the active ingredient ursodeoxycholic acid. It is classified as a hepatoprotective agent. It 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 damages liver tissue. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited liver and bile duct disease in which mucus in the body becomes thickened, leading to clogging and inflammation. Do not take this tablet if you are allergic to ursodeoxycholic acid or any other ingredient in this medicine. Before beginning treatment, inform your doctor if you have acute inflammation, a 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. This monitoring would also allow early detection of acute liver failure, particularly in patients with advanced primary biliary cholangitis. Before starting treatment with Urnoz 300mg tablet, notify your doctor if you have recently undergone surgery in any part of the intestine or have hepatic encephalopathy (a nervous system disorder caused by severe liver disease), a liver bleeding disorder, or any liver-related condition. Report to your doctor if you have any underlying kidney condition because there is limited information on the use of this tablet in patients with kidney disease. The common side effects of this tablet are pasty stool, diarrhoea, rash, and abdominal pain.
Uses

Inform your doctor if you have or had any history of liver problems and all other medical conditions with the gallbladder. Notify your doctor if you had any surgery in the intestine part.
