Is Udiliv300, Safe For Itching During Pregnancy?

I m 36 yrs and 34weeks pregnant. I m having severe bouts of itching over my body. LFT test has shown bilirubin indirect- 0.79mg/dl, bilirubin direct- 0.18mg/dl, SGOT- 74.65IU/L, SGPT-116.78IU/L,ALP-117.17IU/L and GGT-33.02IU/L. My doc has suggested Udiliv300 twice daily along with folic acid,iron and calcium tablet. I have to take HCQS 400 as I suffer from SLE. Ialso suffer from severe heart burn due to acidity. Will Udiliv300 help me to get rid of itching? Is it pregnancy safe?

Hello
Udiliv 300 mg is ursodeoxycholic acid and it is CONTRAINDICATED in pregnancy according to one test book .
2nd point is that liver function ( enzymes ) tests , enzymes level is high and this is contraindicated , when there is increased level of sgot and sgpt present.
Since you are having itching and this is natural and at present you are 34 weeks pregnant , take some antihistamine tablet after consultation with a gynaecologist.
Since you are 34 wks pregnant , so if every thing is within normal limit , you can stop folic acid , iron ,calcium tablets as sometimes they develop itching ,but only after consultation with a gynecologist.
