Bilestar 450 Tablet acts on the liver and gets concentrated in the bile secreted from the liver. This, as a result, suppresses the synthesis and secretion of cholesterol by the liver, thereby decreasing the cholesterol levels in bile. This medicine also acts by stopping the intestines from absorbing the bile salts and cholesterol.

Affirmative, there is a chance of weight gain with Bilestar 450 Tablet, but it is not common. The use of Bilestar 450 Tablet can cause weight gain when prescribed in patients with liver disease associated with chronic stasis of bile in the small bile ducts of the liver.
