Ursocol

No, Ursocol does not cause weight loss. It facilitates the process of weight loss by preventing the formation of gallstones and breaking the cholesterol molecules in patients who lose weight rapidly.

Ursocol should be taken as directed by your doctor. The main aim of this drug is to dissolve gallstones and it may take a few months to a year to work effectively. Do not self-medicate yourself assuming that you have gallstones this is strictly a prescribed Ursocol.

Yes, Ursocol may cause depression. It is one of the rare, yet potentially serious adverse reaction. If you experience the symptoms of depression while on Ursocol, do not hesitate to discuss this with your physician and family members. Yoga and music have been very beneficial for people to lower the effects of stress and depression. But if you are experiencing major mood swings along with distorted thoughts you may require medical help. Contact your doctor without hesitation.

During clinical trials, few reported cases in animal studies with impaired fertility have been associated with Ursocol. Hence nothing can be ascertained in humans due to lack of evidence. You are encouraged to discuss with your doctor if you are experiencing any impaired sexual or fertility complications.

Ursocol is usually not associated with lower abdomen pain. But one must not ignore lower abdomen pain as lower abdomen pain could be an indication of undissolved gallstones and other underlying medical conditions. Take a mild painkiller and if the pain does not subside then seek medical attention without any further delay.
