URSO SUMMARY
URSO 250® (ursodiol, 250 mg) and URSO Forte™ (ursodiol, 500 mg) are available as film-coated tablets for oral administration. Ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid, UDCA) is a naturally occurring bile acid found in small quantities in normal human bile and in larger quantities in the biles of certain species of bears. It is a bitter-tasting white powder consisting of crystalline particles freely soluble in ethanol and glacial acetic acid, slightly soluble in chloroform, sparingly soluble in ether, and practically insoluble in water.
URSO 250® and URSO Forte™ (ursodiol) tablets are indicated for the treatment of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.
