Obetohep 5mg Tablet

Product Overview
Obetohep 5mg Tablet is prescribed either alone or alongside other treatments for managing primary biliary cirrhosis. It works by reducing the production of bile acids and promoting their clearance from the liver, thereby decreasing the accumulation of bile acids and preventing their harmful effects on liver cells.

This medication can be taken with or without food. For optimal results, take it consistently at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your healthcare provider. Maintaining a regular schedule helps ensure effectiveness. It is important to complete the full prescribed course and not discontinue treatment prematurely.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects may include itching, tiredness, skin rash, sore throat, dizziness, constipation, joint discomfort, eczema, and thyroid-related issues. If any symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor.

Precautions
Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions before starting Obetohep. Additionally, disclose all medications you are currently using, as interactions may occur. Pregnant or nursing women should seek medical advice before using this medicine.

How It Works
Obetohep activates the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which plays a key role in regulating bile acid production, lipid metabolism, and glucose regulation. By reducing bile acid synthesis and enhancing bile acid secretion, it lowers the toxic bile acid levels in the liver, thereby improving liver function.
