Q. When should I take Ulyses 75mg Tablet?::: The suitable timing of taking this medicine might differ depending upon your condition.

Is Ulyses 75mg Tablet safe?::: Ulyses 75mg Tablet is usually considered to be a safe and effective medicine. However, this medicine may have some common side effects, such as diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, your doctor may reduce the dose and if it persists, your treatment may be discontinued. Additionally, using this medicine as a long-term therapy may also affect your liver enzyme levels. To keep a check on this, your doctor will keep monitoring your liver enzyme levels regularly. Despite these minor side effects, this medicine is supposed to be a good alternative to surgery in some patients with gallstones.| Q. How does Ulyses 75mg Tablet help the liver?::: Ulyses 75mg Tablet acts on the liver and gets concentrated in the bile secreted from the liver. This, as a result, suppresses the synthesis and secretion of cholesterol by the liver, thereby decreasing the cholesterol levels in bile. This medicine also acts by stopping the intestines from absorbing the bile salts and cholesterol. So, the reduced cholesterol saturation in the bile from the liver leads to the gradual dissolving of cholesterol from gallstones, leading to a decrease in size and their eventual dissolution. It also reduces elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing the bile flow through the liver, hence protecting the liver cells.| Q. Does Ulyses 75mg Tablet cause weight gain?::: Yes, there is a chance of weight gain with Ulyses 75mg Tablet, but it is not common. The use of Ulyses 75mg Tablet can cause weight gain when prescribed in patients with liver disease associated with chronic stasis of bile in small bile ducts of the liver. In such condition, bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. Again, the chance of weight gain varies from person to person depending upon the disease, so consult your doctor if you experience weight gain.| Q. What should I avoid while taking Ulyses 75mg Tablet?::: While taking Ulyses 75mg Tablet, avoid taking an antacid preparation without consulting your doctor, as they decrease the effectiveness of Ulyses 75mg Tablet.
