Bilovia Tablet 10 mg contains Obeticholic Acid, a potent farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist indicated for the management of chronic liver diseases. It is primarily used in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who have an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).

Obeticholic Acid works by regulating bile acid synthesis, improving bile flow, and reducing inflammation and fibrosis in the liver. Bilovia 10 mg helps normalize liver enzyme levels, slow disease progression, and protect liver function over time.
