Drug Details
Obeticholic acid, marketed under the name Ocaliva, is a medication used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. PBC progressively damages the bile ducts in the liver, causing bile to accumulate, which can harm the liver. Obeticholic acid works by reducing the production of bile in the liver and facilitating its flow out of the liver. This medication can be used alone or in combination with ursodiol (Actigall). While effective, it may cause side effects such as itchiness, fatigue, and stomach pain, and there is a caution for potential liver problems. Always consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new treatment.
