Hepatoprotector. Ursodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid. Reduces cholesterol in bile mainly by dispersing cholesterol and forming a liquid crystal phase. It affects the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts, reducing the reabsorption of endogenous, more hydrophobic and potentially toxic compounds in the intestine. In vitro studies have shown that ursodeoxycholic acid has a direct hepatoprotective effect and reduces the hepatotoxicity of hydrophobic bile salts. It has an effect on immunological reactions, reducing the pathological expression of class I HLA antigens on hepatocytes and suppressing the production of cytokines and interleukins. Ursodeoxycholic acid reduces the lithogenic index of bile, increasing the content of bile acids in it. Promotes the partial or complete dissolution of cholesterol gallstones when taken orally. It has a choleretic effect.
