UDIMAX-300

Udimax-300 contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) 300 mg, which is primarily used to dissolve certain types of gallstones (cholesterol stones) and to treat various liver conditions, such as Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). It helps improve liver function and prevents the formation of new stones.

Udimax-300 works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestines. By lowering the cholesterol levels in the bile, it helps to gradually dissolve existing gallstones and keeps the bile flowing more easily through the liver.

No, Udimax-300 is specifically effective for cholesterol-rich gallstones that are radiolucent (do not show up on X-rays). It is not effective for stones that are calcified (contain calcium) or for stones larger than a certain size. A doctor will typically use an ultrasound to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment.

Dissolving gallstones is a slow process. It may take anywhere from 6 to 24 months of continuous treatment with Udimax-300 to fully dissolve the stones. Regular follow-up ultrasounds are usually scheduled every 6 months to monitor progress.

For the best results, Udimax-300 should be taken with food or milk to improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. Many doctors recommend taking the daily dose at bedtime or as split doses throughout the day.

Udimax-300 is generally well-tolerated. However, some common side effects may include: Diarrhea or loose stools Nausea or stomach pain Itching (Pruritus) Dizziness If you experience severe abdominal pain or yellowing of the skin/eyes, contact your doctor immediately.

You should avoid taking aluminum-based antacids (like those containing aluminum hydroxide) at the same time as Udimax-300. These can bind with the medicine and prevent your body from absorbing it. Maintain a gap of at least 2 hours between them.

Yes, Udimax-300 is often prescribed for long-term use, especially for chronic liver diseases like PBC. Your doctor will perform periodic liver function tests (LFTs) to ensure the medication is working safely and effectively for your liver.

Udimax-300 should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed and specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant before starting this medication.

While Udimax-300 is primarily indicated for gallstones and PBC, some doctors may prescribe it as an "off-label" treatment to help protect liver cells in certain types of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, you should only use it for this purpose under strict medical supervision.
