Obetohep 10 ( obeticholic acid 10 mg )

Obetohep 10 stands out as a top-quality generic obeticholic acid option in India, specifically designed to address primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adult patients who have either experienced intolerance to or insufficient response from ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This treatment can be utilized either as a standalone therapy or in combination with UDCA.

Obeticholic Acid Dosage

During the initial 90 days of Obeticholic treatment, the recommended dosage varies depending on the patient's liver condition. For patients with non-cirrhotic or compensated Child-Pugh Class A conditions, the suggested dose is 5 mg per day. For those with Child-Pugh Class B or C conditions or a history of decompensation, the recommended dose is 5 mg per week.

If, after this initial period, the patient has not achieved a satisfactory reduction in ALP and/or total bilirubin levels but is tolerating the medication well, the dosage can be adjusted. Patients with non-cirrhotic or compensated Child-Pugh Class A conditions may be prescribed 10 mg per day. Patients with Child-Pugh Class B or C conditions or a previous decompensation event may start with 5 mg twice per week, with at least three days between doses, and titrate up to 10 mg twice per week based on their response and ability to tolerate the medication.

The maximum dosage of Obeticholic is 10 mg per day for patients with non-cirrhotic or compensated Child-Pugh Class A conditions. For patients with Child-Pugh Class B or C conditions or a history of decompensation, the maximum dosage is 10 mg twice per week, with at least three days between doses. It is crucial to reassess the patient's Child-Pugh classification before making any adjustments to their dosage. Decompensation events encompass new or worsening jaundice, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and gastroesophageal variceal bleeding.
