Question 1

Does Ursocol cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a chance of weight gain with Ursocol, but it is not common. The use of Ursocol can cause weight gain when prescribed in patients with liver disease associated with chronic stasis of bile in small bile ducts of the liver. In such condition bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. Again, the chance of weight gain varies from person to person depending upon the disease, so consult your doctor if you experience weight gain.
