Udiliva 150 Tablets — Ursodeoxycholic Acid 150 mg (20 Tabs)
Udiliva 150 mg (Ursodeoxycholic Acid BP / UDCA) is a naturally occurring bile acid acting as a hepatoprotective and choleretic agent. It reduces the cholesterol saturation of bile, facilitating the gradual dissolution of cholesterol gallstones, and protects liver cells from the toxic effects of other bile acids.

Key Features:
- ✅ Stone Dissolution: A safe, non-surgical alternative for dissolving small to medium cholesterol gallstones.
