Dissolution of Gallstones:

• The usual dose is 10-12 mg per kilogram of body weight daily, divided into two doses.
• "It usually takes 6 to 24 months for gallstones to dissolve. If the size of the gallstones has not decreased after 12 months, treatment should be stopped."

Primary biliary cholangitis:

• The usual dose is 12-16 mg per kilogram of body weight daily.

• There are no restrictions on the duration of treatment with this medication in the case of primary biliary cholangitis.
• In patients with primary biliary cholangitis, exacerbation of symptoms may occur in rare cases at the beginning of treatment, for example, itching. If this happens, treatment can continue at a lower dose of Ursodeoxycholic acid. Later, your doctor will increase the daily dose weekly to the recommended daily dose.
