Ursodeoxycholic acid

- Ursodeoxycholic acid acts by altering the bile acid pool and reducing the proportion of hydrophobic and hepatotoxic bile acids. 

- Reduces serum bile acid concentration. 

- Not licensed for use in pregnancy

 - No evidence that ursodeoxycholic acid affects fetal outcome in obstetric cholestasis
