Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is Maxiliv 500mg Tablet?
Maxiliv 500mg Tablet contains Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a naturally occurring bile acid that may be prescribed for conditions affecting the liver and biliary tract, including the dissolution of certain types of gallstones and the management of certain chronic liver diseases.

2. What conditions may Maxiliv be prescribed for?
Maxiliv may be considered for conditions such as:
•         Dissolution of cholesterol gallstones in patients who are not candidates for surgery
•         Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)
•         Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
•         Liver disease associated with cystic fibrosis
•         Certain chronic liver conditions
Suitability for each condition must be assessed by your doctor.

3. How is UDCA believed to work?
UDCA may act by replacing more toxic bile acids with a less harmful form, potentially reducing the cholesterol saturation of bile, and may help protect liver cells from bile acid-related damage. Over time, it may also contribute to the gradual dissolution of cholesterol-based gallstones in some patients.

4. How is Maxiliv 500mg taken?
It is typically taken orally with food, once or twice daily, depending on the condition and your doctor's prescribed dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding timing and duration of treatment.

5. How long may it take to dissolve gallstones with UDCA?
Gallstone dissolution can be a slow process, potentially taking 6–24 months or longer, depending on the size and number of stones. Regular ultrasound monitoring is typically recommended to track progress. Not all patients will achieve complete dissolution.

6. What are the possible side effects of Maxiliv?
Some patients may experience:
•         Diarrhoea
•         Nausea
•         Abdominal discomfort
•         Transient elevation of liver enzymes
These are generally reported as mild and well-tolerated. Consult your doctor if any side effects are persistent or concerning.

7. Who may not be suitable for Maxiliv?
Maxiliv may not be appropriate for:
•         Patients with acute inflammation of the gallbladder
•         Those with pigment (non-cholesterol) gallstones
•         Patients with bile duct obstruction or biliary fistula
•         Those with severe liver or kidney impairment
Your doctor will assess your suitability before prescribing.

8. May Maxiliv be used during pregnancy?
UDCA may be prescribed for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and is generally considered relatively well-tolerated in this setting. However, it must be used only under close obstetric and medical supervision during pregnancy.

9. Are there any significant drug interactions with Maxiliv?
Certain medications, including antacids containing aluminium, bile acid sequestrants (e.g., cholestyramine), and some lipid-lowering drugs, may reduce the absorption of UDCA. It is important to inform your doctor and pharmacist of all medicines you are currently taking.

10. Is Maxiliv 500mg a prescription medicine?
Yes. Maxiliv is a prescription-only medicine and should be taken only under the guidance of a gastroenterologist or qualified physician.
