How Does Ursodiol Work?
Ursodiol improves the flow of bile through the ducts into the gallbladder, improving the flow of bile from the gallbladder into the intestine and liver function. It also prevents buildup of bile which can potentially be toxic. Cholesterol in bile can also decreased by reducing the amount of cholesterol the liver produces. Cholesterol absorbed from food and increases its breakdown, especially cholesterol that has formed into gallbladder stones, can also be decreased because of Ursodiol.
Side Effects and Warnings
If your dog suffers an allergic reaction such as hives, swelling of lips, tongue or face or difficulty breathing seek immediate emergency veterinary medical attention and discontinue dosages.

Other less serious side effects may occur such as nausea or upset stomach, diarrhea or headache. If these, or any other side effects seem unusual or bothersome to your animal talk to your veterinarian.

Antacids or any medications including aluminum may cause Ursodiol to be ineffective. Estrogen increases cholesterol counteracting the effects of Ursodiol.

Contact your veterinarian if you add any other medications or supplements to ensure it will not inhibit or negatively interact.
