Jaundice. LFT, Abdominal And Pelvic Scanning Results Normal. Prescribed Ursocol. Reason For Medication?
I am suffering from jaundice. initially three months back my bilirubing was 3.6 after one month reduced to 2.47 and within a week again 3.8. now i have taken LFT and abdominal + pelvis scaning . results showing normal. doctor prescribed ursocol 300 mg twice a day for 20 days and asked me to come after course. what could be the reason. please help me in this regard.
Thank you for your query. Ursocol is a drug which increases conjugated bilirubin and helps in excretion of bile and cholesterol from our body thus decreasing the jaundice. It decreases the raised liver enzyme levels back to normal. It is probably describe because you have fatty liver or sign of fibrosis and cirrhosis. YOu should continue taking it till your bilirubin levels stabilize. Wishing you good health.
