Product Overview

Tanabe Gastrointestinal Medicine Urso is a gastrointestinal medicine containing the active ingredient ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). As liver function declines with aging and other factors, bile acids needed to break down fat can become insufficient, which may lead to heavy stomach or indigestion after fatty meals. The UDCA in this product acts on the liver; through its choleretic action that promotes bile acid secretion, it is intended to help relieve symptoms such as fat-related heavy stomach and indigestion.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)?

AUDCA is one of the human bile acids. After cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) synthesized in the liver are excreted into the intestine as bile components, they are converted by intestinal bacteria and other processes into deoxycholic acid (DCA), lithocholic acid (LCA), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and others.

QWhat is the “enterohepatic circulation” of bile acids?

ABile acids produced in the liver help digest and absorb fat in the small intestine, after which most return to the liver via the portal vein and are reused. This cycle is called the enterohepatic circulation. When liver function declines, bile flow may decrease and fat digestion and absorption may more easily stall.

QHow does UDCA help relieve heavy stomach?

AOrally taken UDCA is absorbed from the intestine and enters the enterohepatic circulation. In addition to UDCA itself acting as a bile acid, it has a choleretic action that improves hepatocyte function and promotes bile secretion. When bile acids are secreted, fat digestion and absorption tend to proceed more smoothly, aiming to relieve symptoms such as heavy stomach and indigestion.
