1. What is URSACOL and what is it used for
URSACOL is a preparation based on bile acids naturally present in the body, which is able to
solubilize cholesterol in bile.
This medicine is used to treat alterations (both in composition and quantity) in the
production of bile by the liver and to improve the solubility of cholesterol, both to prevent the
formation of cholesterol stones and to facilitate their dissolution. This medicine is not effective
against all types of stones, but only against those not visible on X-rays (radiotransparent), in particular,
cholesterol stones in the gallbladder (functioning gallbladder) and stones in the bile duct.
It is also used to treat digestive problems due to dysfunction of the gallbladder (biliary dyspepsia).
2. What you need to know before taking URSACOL
Do not take URSACOL
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to ursodeoxycholic acid, bile acids or any of the ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you have an acute inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis) or bile ducts;
- if you have a blockage of the bile ducts (obstruction of the common bile duct or cystic duct);
- if you frequently suffer from pain in the upper abdomen (biliary colic);
- if you have calcified gallstones visible on X-rays;
- if you suffer from reduced motility of the gallbladder (cholecystitis);
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding;
- if you suffer from lesions of the stomach or intestine (gastric or duodenal ulcer) in an active phase;
- if you have problems with the liver (severe hepatopathy) or kidneys;
- if you have a yellowish discoloration of the skin (obstructive jaundice);
- if you have severe alterations to the pancreas or intestine that may alter the blood circulation of bile salts;
- If the person who is to take this medicine is a child.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Treatment with this medicine must occur under strict medical supervision.
During the first 3 months of treatment with this medicine, your doctor will check your liver function parameters every 4 weeks (checking transaminases and alkaline phosphatase). And subsequently every 3 months. This allows you to assess your response to therapy (for primary biliary cirrhosis) and to diagnose potential liver damage.
In the treatment of dissolving gallstones, you will need to perform a visualization of the gallbladder (oral cholecystography) via ultrasound, 6-10 months after starting treatment, to assess the improvement of your condition.
Before starting long-term therapy, the doctor will monitor your liver function (checking transaminases and alkaline phosphatase).
Consult your doctor if, after starting treatment for advanced primary biliary cirrhosis, you experience an increase in symptoms such as itching. In this case, the dose of ursodeoxycholic acid must be reduced and then gradually increased (see section 3).
If you have problems with diarrhea, consult your doctor, who may decide to reduce the dose or stop therapy.
This medicine is not suitable for the treatment of all types of gallstones; those that have a higher probability of dissolving are those that are not visible on X-rays (radiotransparent) and of small size in a functioning gallbladder.
Other medicines and URSACOL
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Do not take URSACOL together with the following medicines:
- bile acid sequestrants, used to lower cholesterol levels such as cholestyramine and colestipol or antacids containing aluminum hydroxide and/or smectite (aluminum oxide), because they reduce the effectiveness of this medicine. If the use of such medicines is necessary, they must be taken 2 hours before or after taking URSACOL;
- cyclosporine, a medicine that reduces the activity of the immune system. In this case, the doctor will need to check the concentration of cyclosporine in the blood and adjust the dose;
- ciprofloxacin and dapsone, antibiotics used against infections, and nitrendipine, a medicine used to lower blood pressure, in which case an increase in the dose may be necessary;
- estrogens, and agents that lower cholesterol in the blood such as clofibrate, as they can promote the formation of gallstones;
- medicines that increase biliary cholesterol excretion (hormonal contraceptives, some hypolipemic agents);
- medicines harmful to the liver (hepatotoxic); Use this medicine with caution if you are taking rosuvastatin, a medicine used to lower cholesterol in the blood, because they may increase levels of rosuvastatin in the blood.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding, do not use this medicine.
Do not use this medicine during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.
Before starting treatment, make sure you are not pregnant.
If you are of childbearing potential, you can only start treatment if you are using a reliable non-hormonal contraceptive method (non-hormonal oral contraceptives or low-dose estrogen).
If you are undergoing therapy to dissolve gallstones, use an effective non-hormonal contraceptive, as hormonal oral contraceptives may increase the formation of gallbladder stones.
Driving and using machines
This medicine does not alter or mildly alters the ability to drive vehicles and use machinery.
URSACOL 50 mg, 150 mg and 300 mg tablets contain lactose.
This medicine contains lactose, a type of sugar. If your doctor has diagnosed you with an intolerance to certain sugars, contact him before taking this medicine.
3. How to take URSACOL
Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. If you have
any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Your doctor will adjust the dosage based on your clinical condition and your tolerability to the
medicine.
Treatment of gallstones:
- URSACOL 50 mg, 150 mg and 300 mg tablets: to prevent the formation of stones, the recommended daily dose is between 5-10 mg/kg (300 and 600 mg) per day, for a prolonged treatment.
Take the medicine during or after meals and in the evening.
To maintain the conditions suitable for dissolving existing stones, the duration of treatment
must be at least 4-6 months, which may increase to 12 or even more, continuously, and must
be continued for 3-4 months after the radiological or ultrasound disappearance of the stones themselves. The
treatment should not, however, exceed 2 years.
- URSACOL 450 mg modified-release tablets: to prevent the formation of stones, the recommended daily dose is 450 mg per day, for a prolonged treatment. In obese patients and those with stones larger than 2 cm in diameter, higher dosages are used, up to 675 mg.
Take the medicine in a single dose in the evening, preferably before bedtime.
To maintain the conditions suitable for dissolving existing stones, the duration of treatment
must be at least 4-6 months, which may increase to 9 or even more, continuously, and must
be continued for 3-4 months after the radiological or ultrasound disappearance of the stones themselves. The
treatment should not, however, exceed 2 years.
Treatment of dyspepsia and maintenance therapy:
- URSACOL 50 mg, 150 mg and 300 mg tablets: the recommended dose is 300 mg per day, divided into 2-3 administrations.
- URSACOL 450 mg modified-release tablets: lower doses, of 225 mg per day, are sufficient.
Use in children
The use of the medicine is not intended for children.
If you take more URSACOL than you should
In case of overdose, you may experience diarrhea. In general, other symptoms of overdose are unlikely
because the absorption of ursodeoxycholic acid decreases with increasing dose and is therefore
mostly excreted in the feces.
In case of accidental ingestion of an excessive dose of this medicine, immediately inform your
doctor or go to the nearest hospital.
If you forget to take URSACOL
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Take the next dose at the scheduled time.
If you have any doubts about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
