Obetohep 5mg tablet contains obeticholic acid as the active ingredient, which is preferably used in the treatment of acute liver damage (Either alone or in combination with another medicine named ursodeoxycholic acid). It works by increasing bile flow and reducing inflammation in the liver.
Accidental intake of higher doses causes elevated levels of transaminase and bilirubin. It may also enhance the production of abdominal fluids which might lead to abdominal swelling and jaundice too. Consult your doctor immediately, in case you have administered higher doses to prevent further complications.
In case a dose of Obetohep 5mg is missed, try to have the next dose at specified time but do not take double dose to compensate the missed one.
Obetohep 5mg acts by promoting the action of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), categorised as bile acid receptor which leads to decrease in intracellular concentration of bile acid in liver cells.
Obetohep 5mg is to be administered orally either empty stomach or after taking meal. Follow the doctor's advice regarding dosage. Do not break the tablet or chew it. Have it with a glass of water.
Since preclinical data does not show any such information regarding reproductive toxicity but for safety purposes, it is advisable not to take the medicine during pregnancy. Seek professional medical guidance.
It is not sure if Obeticholic acid is secreted in milk or not. It is advised for breastfeeding mothers to consult the doctor before taking the medicine.
Administration of Obetohep 5mg does not cause any difficulty while driving.
It is prohibited to consume alcohol in any type of liver disease. Ask your doctor before consuming alcohol with Obetohep 5mg.
Talk to your doctor if
Obetohep 5mg can be had with or without food as the presence of food in stomach does not alter the absorption of Obeticholic acid.
Co-administration of bile acid binding resins along with obeticholic acid is not advisable because the presence of bile acid binding resins reduces the efficacy of obeticholic acid. So to avoid this, both the medicines should be administered with a time gap of minimum 4 to 6 hours.
Since sufficient data regarding the drug-drug interactions for Covid-19 vaccine is not available till date, so it is recommended to take the medicine after a time gap by consulting your doctor after receiving the shot.
Since it’s a film coated tablet it is recommended to be taken with normal water.
It is not recommended to break the tablet in half since it’s a film coated tablet which is meant to protect it from gastric acid. If Obetohep 5mg is broken into two pieces, the protection due to film will be lost and will cause gastric irritation.
It is better to consult the doctor for appropriate timing before administration. Follow the doctor's prescription advice.
