Bilicir Tablet 150 mg contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid used to treat liver and gallbladder disorders. UDCA works by improving bile flow, reducing cholesterol saturation in bile, and protecting liver cells from damage caused by toxic bile acids.
Bilicir is commonly prescribed for patients with cholestatic liver diseases, gallstones, and other liver function abnormalities. It helps normalize liver enzyme levels, promotes healthy bile composition, and supports overall liver function.
