Detailed Information

Introduction

Ocanat 10mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. It contains obeticholic acid, which works by activating a specific receptor in the liver to reduce inflammation, improve bile flow, and slow liver damage. PBC occurs when the small bile ducts in the liver become inflamed and damaged, reducing bile flow and potentially leading to scarring (fibrosis) of liver tissue.

This medication is designed for adults with PBC and should only be taken under medical supervision. Your doctor will monitor your liver function regularly with blood tests while you take Ocanat. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you're currently taking, as some drugs may interact with Ocanat 10mg Tablet. Do not take this medication if you are allergic to obeticholic acid or any other ingredients in the tablet.

Key points

  • Treats primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) by activating farnesoid X receptor in the liver
  • Reduces liver inflammation and slows progression of liver damage and scarring
  • Requires regular monitoring of liver function through blood tests
  • May cause itching, which can be managed with additional medications if needed

Therapeutic Uses

  • Treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adults

How it Works

Ocanat 10mg Tablet works by activating the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in your liver. This activation triggers multiple beneficial effects that help manage PBC: it reduces liver inflammation, promotes better bile flow through the bile ducts, and helps slow down or even reverse liver fibrosis (scarring). By addressing these underlying issues, the medication helps control PBC symptoms and prevent progression of the disease.
