Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION Obeticholic acid is a semisynthetic bile acid analogue. It acts as a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist. (GtoPdb)
ABSORPTION Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) of obeticholic acid occurred at a median time (Tmax) of approximately 1.5 hours.; Coadministration with food did not alter the extent of absorption of obeticholic acid.
TOXICITY LD50: not known. ; Overdosage of Obeticholic acid could yield in dose-dependent increase in the incidence of liver-related adverse reactions including portal hypertension, ascites, jaundice and elevation in liver biochemical tests.; Severe Pruritus.
INDICATION Indicated for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults with an inadequate response to UDCA, or as monotherapy in adults unable to tolerate UDCA.
