Obeticholic Acid

Is the active ingredient.

Treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adults with inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid.

Treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with bridging fibrosis or advanced fibrosis (F3, F4).

Obeticholic Acid 10mg Tablets (Obeticholic Acid) is a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist. By activating FXR, it modulates bile acid synthesis, reduces hepatic inflammation, and improves liver fibrosis. The exact mechanisms contributing to its efficacy in PBC and NASH are still being investigated, but the FXR activation plays a central role.

Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Protect from moisture.

Dosage and frequency should be determined by a healthcare professional and may vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient's response.
