| Warning and Precautions | Ursodeoxycholic acid (Ursofalk®) 250mg capsules must be used under medical supervision. Your doctor should test your liver function regularly every 4 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment. After this time, it should be monitored at 3-month intervals. When used to dissolve gallstones, your doctor should arrange for a scan of your gall bladder after the first 6-10 months of treatment. If you are a woman and take this medicine for dissolution of gallstones you should use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception, since hormonal contraceptives may encourage the formation of gallstones. When used in the treatment of PBC, in rare cases the symptoms (e.g. itching) may worsen at the beginning of treatment. If this happens, please speak to your doctor about reducing your initial dose. Tell your doctor immediately if you are suffering from diarrhoea, as you may need the dose to be reduced or to stop taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (Ursofalk®) 250mg capsules. Long-term, high-dose Ursodeoxycholic acid therapy (28-30 mg/kg/day) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis was associated with higher rates of serious adverse events. |
