Pharmachologic effect:
Hepatoprotector. Ursodeoxycholic acid - bile acid. Reduces the cholesterol content in bile mainly by dispersing cholesterol and forming a liquid crystalline phase. It affects the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts, reducing the reabsorption in the intestine of endogenous more hydrophobic and potentially toxic compounds.
