Bilicir Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a bile acid naturally found in the human body, widely used for managing liver and gallbladder disorders. UDCA works by improving bile flow, reducing cholesterol saturation in bile, and protecting liver cells from damage.
Bilicir is commonly prescribed for patients with cholestatic liver diseases, gallstones, and certain liver function abnormalities. It is well tolerated and has proven efficacy in reducing liver enzyme levels, improving bile composition, and supporting liver health.
