Sedogest 300 Tablet is a medicine used to dissolve certain gallstones and prevent them from forming. It helps break down the cholesterol that has converted into stones in your gallbladder, thereby dissolving the stones. It is also used to treat a type of liver disease called primary biliary cirrhosis.
Sedogest 300 Tablet is a hepatoprotective medication. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood and helps dissolve gallbladder stones that are composed mainly of cholesterol.

When should I take Sedogest 300 Tablet?
The suitable timing of taking this medicine might differ depending on your condition. Your doctor might instruct you to take 2 to 3 doses per day and suggest taking the last dose at bedtime. Sedogest 300 Tablet should be taken with water or milk after food. When prescribed for dissolving gallstones, it is usually suggested to be taken once daily at night.
Is Sedogest 300 Tablet safe?
Sedogest 300 Tablet is usually considered to be a safe and effective medicine. However, this medicine may have some common side effects, such as diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, your doctor may reduce the dose, and if it persists, your treatment may be discontinued. Additionally, using this medicine as a long-term therapy may also affect your liver enzyme levels. To keep a check on this, your doctor will keep monitoring your liver enzyme levels regularly. Despite these minor side effects, this medicine is supposed to be a good alternative to surgery in some patients with gallstones.
How does Sedogest 300 Tablet help the liver?
Sedogest 300 Tablet acts on the liver and gets concentrated in the bile secreted from the liver. This, as a result, suppresses the synthesis and secretion of cholesterol by the liver, thereby decreasing the cholesterol levels in bile. This medicine also acts by stopping the intestines from absorbing the bile salts and cholesterol. So, the reduced cholesterol saturation in the bile from the liver leads to the gradual dissolving of cholesterol from gallstones, leading to a decrease in size and their eventual dissolution. It also reduces elevated liver enzyme levels by increasing the bile flow through the liver, hence protecting the liver cells.
Does Sedogest 300 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, there is a chance of weight gain with Sedogest 300 Tablet, but it is not common. The use of Sedogest 300 Tablet can cause weight gain when prescribed in patients with liver disease associated with chronic stasis of bile in the small bile ducts of the liver. In such conditions, bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. Again, the chance of weight gain varies from person to person depending on the disease, so consult your doctor if you experience weight gain.
