Description
Product Introduction
Ocabile 10 Tablet is a medication primarily used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), also known as primary biliary cholangitis. PBC is a chronic liver disease that causes progressive damage to the bile ducts in the liver, eventually leading to liver failure if untreated. Ocabile 10 Tablet helps improve liver function by inhibiting the production of bile acid and increasing the removal of bile acid from the liver, which prevents the toxic effects that accumulate due to bile acid build-up.
This medicine can be used alone or in combination therapy to manage PBC, and it is typically prescribed for long-term use to slow the progression of the disease and prevent liver damage. For best results, it should be taken regularly at evenly spaced intervals, either with or without food, as advised by your healthcare provider.
Key Ingredient:
- Obeticholic acid (10mg): A bile acid modulator that inhibits bile acid synthesis and stimulates bile acid secretion, helping to reduce liver damage and improve overall liver function.

How Ocabile Tablet Works:
Ocabile 10 Tablet works by stimulating the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a key receptor that regulates bile acid synthesis, lipid metabolism, and glucose levels. By activating this receptor, Ocabile inhibits the synthesis of bile acid and enhances the secretion of bile acids, reducing the accumulation of bile in the liver. This helps to reduce liver toxicity, improve liver function, and slow the progression of PBC.
