📋Overview
Ursodiol is a medication that helps to dissolve certain types of gallstones and reduce the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. It is commonly associated with conditions affecting the liver and gallbladder, such as primary biliary cholangitis and cholesterol gallstones. Ursodiol works by altering the composition of bile, making it less likely for stones to form. It is often used in situations where surgery is not an option or to support liver health in specific chronic diseases.
