Detailed Information

Introduction

Obitocip 5mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver condition where inflammation damages the small bile ducts in the liver. This leads to reduced bile flow, liver damage, and potential scarring (fibrosis). The tablet contains obeticholic acid, which works by activating the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in the liver to improve liver function and slow disease progression.

PBC is a long-term autoimmune liver disease that requires ongoing medical management. Obitocip 5mg Tablet helps manage symptoms and can slow or reverse liver fibrosis when used as directed by your doctor. It may be used alone or combined with other PBC medications depending on your specific condition.

Before starting Obitocip 5mg Tablet, inform your doctor about any complete blockage of bile ducts, worsening liver health, or other medical conditions. Your doctor will monitor your liver function with regular blood tests throughout treatment.

Key points

  • Treats primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) by reducing liver inflammation and promoting bile flow
  • Contains obeticholic acid, a farnesoid X-receptor agonist that helps slow liver fibrosis
  • Requires regular blood tests to monitor liver function during treatment
  • May cause itching as a side effect, which your doctor can help manage

Therapeutic Uses

  • Treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) to reduce liver inflammation and slow disease progression

By improving these liver functions, the medication helps manage PBC symptoms and prevents the disease from worsening.
