OBETOHEP 10MG contains Obeticholic acid which belongs to the group of medicines called Farnesoid X receptor agonists. It is used to manage primary biliary cholangitis (also known as primary biliary cirrhosis) in adults, either by itself or together with other medicine (called ursodeoxycholic acid).

Primary biliary cholangitis is a chronic disorder in which the bile ducts in your liver are slowly destroyed. When these ducts are destroyed, bile (fluid that aids in digestion and absorption of vitamins) builds up in the liver leading to inflammation and scarring. It is also known as primary biliary cirrhosis.

OBETOHEP 10MG is not recommended for use in pregnant women and consult your doctor before taking OBETOHEP 10MG if you are breast-feeding women. OBETOHEP 10MG is not recommended for use in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age) and should be used with caution in elderly patients (aged 65 years and above). Consult your doctor before taking OBETOHEP 10MG.

Prior to management with OBETOHEP 10MG your doctor may advice you to take blood test to understand your existing condition like liver function. The most common side effects of taking OBETOHEP 10MG are stomach pain, tiredness, dizziness, constipation, dry skin and fast or irregular heartbeat. Consult your doctor if any of the symptom worsens.
