Ursodiol, also known as ursodeoxycholic acid and the abbreviation UDCA, is one of the secondary bile acids, which are metabolic byproducts of intestinal bacteria.
Ursodeoxycholic acid can be chemically synthesized. Ursodeoxycholic acid reduces cholesterol absorption and is used to dissolve (cholesterol) gallstones in patients who want an alternative to surgery. The drug is very expensive, however, and if the patient stops taking it, the gallstones tend to recur if the condition that gave rise to their formation does not change.

UDCA is used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis. In children, its use is not licensed, as its safety and effectiveness are no
