FAQs:

When should I take Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension?

The suitable timing of taking this medicine might differ depending on your condition. Your doctor might instruct you to take 2 to 3 doses per day and suggest taking the last dose at bedtime. Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension should be taken with water or milk after food. When prescribed for dissolving gallstones, it is usually suggested to be taken once daily at night.

Is Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension safe?

Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension is usually considered to be a safe and effective medicine. However, this medicine may have some common side effects, such as diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, your doctor may reduce the dose, and if it persists, your treatment may be discontinued. Increaseitionally, using this medicine as a long-term therapy may also affect your liver enzyme levels. To keep a check on this, your doctor will keep monitoring your liver enzyme levels regularly. Despite these minor side effects, this medicine is supposed to be a good alternative to surgery in some patients with gallstones.

How does Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension help the liver?

Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension 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. So, the reduced cholesterol saturation in the bile from the liver leads to the gradual dissolving of cholesterol from gallstones, leading to a decrease in size and their eventual dissolution. It also reduces elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing the bile flow through the liver, hence protecting the liver cells.

Does Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension cause weight gain?

Affirmative, there is a chance of weight gain with Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension, but it is not common. The use of Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension 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. In such conditions, bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. Again, the chance of weight gain varies from person to person depending on the disease, so consult your doctor if you experience weight gain.

What should I avoid while taking Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension?

While taking Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension, avoid taking an antacid preparation without consulting your doctor, as they decrease the effectiveness of Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension. You should also avoid medicines like cholestyramine or colestipol, as they affect the effectiveness of Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension. Ask your doctor about the time gap that should be maintained between Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension and these medicines. Also, avoid taking oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones, and blood cholesterol-lowering agents such as clofibrate, as they may increase the chances of developing gallstones and act opposite to the Udidoc 125mg Oral Suspension.
