It decreases the cholesterol content in bile by suppressing the liver’s synthesis and secretion of cholesterol. This action helps dissolve cholesterol-based gallstones. Additionally, UDCA has a hepatoprotective effect by reducing the toxic load of bile acids on liver cells, thereby decreasing inflammation and fibrosis in conditions like primary biliary cirrhosis. It also enhances bile flow, promoting better liver function and relieving symptoms such as jaundice and itching.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUdiliv is available in tablet form and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional.
