Your gallstones have reduced in size, showing a positive response to Udiliv (ursodeoxycholic acid). This medicine can help dissolve small cholesterol stones, but complete clearance is not always certain, and treatment usually requires several months. Ongoing medical supervision with regular ultrasound follow‑up is essential. Continue the medication only as advised by your doctor, and seek reassessment if you develop pain, nausea, or jaundice.

It is generally advisable to continue taking Udiliv (ursodeoxycholic acid) as prescribed to help achieve complete dissolution of gallstones, especially since your stone size has reduced and you have no pain or discomfort.

🩺 Next Steps

  • Continue the medication after meals and maintain good hydration as recommended.
  • Regular follow-up with your gastroenterologist or hepatologist is important to monitor stone size and liver function.
  • Do not stop the medication without consulting your specialist, even if symptoms are absent.

⚠️ When to Seek Medical Advice

  • If you develop new symptoms like abdominal pain, jaundice, fever, or nausea.
  • If the stone size stops decreasing or increases on follow-up imaging.

Consult your gastroenterologist for personalized advice on the duration of therapy and any additional management needed.
