Ursofalk - analogues

Ursofalk is a good hepatoprotective drug, which is prescribed for cholestyrinic stones in the gallbladder and bile ducts, and is also designed to facilitate the work of the entire digestive system as a whole. Ursofalk analogues are used for the same purposes, but each of the drugs has its own minor characteristics.

What can replace Ursofalk?

How to replace Ursofalk when the medicine was not in the pharmacy? Of course, a drug based on the same active substance - ursodeoxycholic acid. This acid is an analogue of bile acids, produced by our body and stimulates the processes of cellular metabolism in the liver. With the help of ursodeoxycholic acid, you can solve such problems:

• dissolve radiopaque cholesterol stones in the bile;
• to overcome reflux-gastritis of the biliary type;
• cure liver cirrhosis in the initial stages;
• maintain the liver with hepatitis of different etiologies;
• to eliminate primary sclerosing cholangitis;
• cure cystic fibrosis;
• prevent non-alcoholic steatohepatitis;
• prevent alcoholic liver disease;
• alleviate the symptoms of dyskinesia biliary tract.

Preparations based on this acid have a complex healing effect on the liver and pancreas, indications for use are identical.

At the same time, ursodeoxycholic acid has many contraindications:

• stones in the gallbladder containing calcium;
• gallbladder in a dysfunctional state;
• impaired kidney and liver function;
• cirrhosis in the stage of decompensation;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• individual intolerance.

All these factors make the use of Ursofalk and analogues of the drug unreasonable. Fortunately, in general, the treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid is relatively easy to transfer and shows good results after a month of regular use. Here is a list of analogues of the drug Ursofalk in the form of tablets with the same active substance in the composition:

• Livedoksa;
• Urdoks;
• Urso;
• Ursosan;
• Ursodez;
• Ursofalk caps;
• Urso 100;
• Ursodex;
• Ursuliv;
• Ursolit;
• Ursoprim;
• Ursoron Rompharm;
• Ursor C;
• Ursosan;
• Holudexan;

How to replace Ursofalk-suspension?

What medicine can replace Ursofalk tablet, we have already figured out. Suspension with the same active substance is prescribed to children and is used less often. The therapeutic effect of this form of medicine is somewhat reduced, but there are fewer contraindications, the drug can be used to treat small children and during pregnancy. There is only one direct analogue of the suspension - this is, in fact, ursodeoxycholic acid in different concentrations.

With individual sensitivity to this acid, it is possible to choose an analogue with another active substance, hepatoprotective agents with a similar effect on the market are represented quite a lot. Here are the most commonly prescribed medications:

• Oatson;
• Peponen;
• Hofetol;
• Heptral ;
• Heptor.

None of these drugs will dissolve cholesterol stones in the gallbladder, but they are all capable of protecting the liver from negative impact of provoking factors. The first two drugs are of vegetable origin and are well established as a general restorative for hepatitis, cirrhosis and other liver diseases. Heptral and heptor contain ademethionine - an amino acid that is close in composition to ursodeoxycholic acid, stimulates outflow of bile and liver function.

We remind you that you should choose a replacement for any medicine after consulting a doctor. Especially in cases where the alternative preparation contains another active substance and even partially differs in composition.
