Obetohep 10mg Tablet contains Obeticholic Acid (10mg), a medication used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease where the bile ducts in the liver become damaged. Obeticholic acid works by reducing bile acid production and promoting its flow from the liver, thereby reducing inflammation and damage to liver cells. This helps slow the progression of the disease and improve liver function.
It is usually prescribed when first-line treatments are not effective, and regular monitoring of liver function is necessary while on this medication.
