Stanford Udcak9 150mg Tablet for Dogs and Cats, 15 Tablets

Slows Progression of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC):

UDCA is the internationally recognised standard of care for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis in both human and veterinary medicine. By correcting the composition of the bile acid pool and reducing immune-mediated bile duct inflammation, UDCAK9-150 measurably slows the histological progression of PBC reducing the pace of hepatic fibrosis and portal inflammation, and significantly deferring the need for liver transplantation in chronically affected animals.

Dissolves Cholesterol-Based Gallstones A Non-Surgical Alternative:

UDCAK9-150 provides an evidence-based medical alternative to surgical cholecystectomy for dogs and cats with cholesterol-rich gallbladder stones. By reducing biliary cholesterol secretion and increasing the proportion of UDCA in the bile acid pool, it progressively solubilises cholesterol from existing stones while simultaneously reducing the hepatic risk factors that drive new stone formation making it a first-line medical management option for animals that are poor surgical candidates.

Improves Bile Acid Composition & Viscosity:

The therapeutic enrichment of the bile acid pool with hydrophilic UDCA displaces the more toxic, membrane-damaging hydrophobic bile acids such as chenodeoxycholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and lithocholic acid that accumulate during cholestasis and drive hepatocyte necrosis. This shift in bile composition reduces biliary viscosity, improves bile flow dynamics, and directly protects liver cell membranes from bile acid cytotoxicity.

Potent Anti-Inflammatory & Cytoprotective Action:

UDCA suppresses the abnormal expression of MHC Class I antigens on hepatocyte surfaces a key trigger for T-lymphocyte mediated autoimmune attack on liver cells in immune-mediated hepatitis and cholangitis. This immunomodulatory action, combined with UDCA's direct membrane-stabilising cytoprotective properties, reduces hepatic inflammation, limits further hepatocellular damage, and supports liver cell regeneration in animals with active inflammatory liver disease.

Effective in Cholestatic Liver Disease & Sclerosing Cholangitis: In cholestatic conditions where bile flow is obstructed and toxic bile acids accumulate within the liver UDCA's choleretic action stimulates increased bile secretion from hepatocytes and bile duct epithelial cells, relieving intrahepatic bile stasis, reducing conjugated bilirubin levels, and alleviating the secondary hepatocellular damage caused by bile acid retention.

Precise 150mg Dose for Small to Medium Dogs & Cats: The 150mg tablet strength is specifically calibrated for precise weight-based dosing in cats and small to medium-sized dog breeds enabling accurate dose titration at the standard therapeutic dose range of 10 to 15 mg/kg body weight per day without the need for tablet splitting, which can compromise film coat integrity and dose accuracy.

Convenient Film-Coated Tablet Format Easy Daily Administration:

The smooth film-coated tablet surface makes UDCAK9-150 straightforward to administer in dogs and cats either directly, hidden in a treat or food, or using a pill popper improving compliance during the typically extended treatment courses required for chronic liver disease management.

Strip of 15 Tablets Structured Treatment Supply:

Each strip of 15 film-coated tablets provides a clear, single-strip treatment unit ideal for 15-day dosing courses in a single animal, or flexible multi-day dosing in animals requiring twice-daily administration making prescription dispensing, inventory management, and owner compliance monitoring straightforward for both clinics and pet parents.

How to Use:

UDCAK9-150 must be administered only under the prescription and supervision of a registered veterinarian. Tablets may be given directly by mouth, concealed in a small amount of food, or administered using a pill popper. Tablets should ideally be given at the same time each day to maintain consistent plasma levels. Do not crush or break the film-coated tablet unless specifically directed by your veterinarian the film coat protects both the active ingredient and aids palatability.

Contraindications:

• Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to Ursodeoxycholic Acid or any other bile acid compound.
• Do not use in animals with acute cholecystitis, biliary obstruction, or bile duct occlusion UDCA requires patent biliary drainage to exert its therapeutic effect safely.
• Do not use in animals with radio-opaque (calcium-rich, pigment, or mixed) gallstones UDCA is effective only against cholesterol-rich, radiolucent stones and is ineffective against calcium bilirubinate or pigment stones.
• Avoid concurrent use with cholestyramine, aluminium-containing antacids, or activated charcoal these agents bind UDCA in the gastrointestinal tract and significantly reduce its absorption and bioavailability.
• Use with caution alongside oral contraceptive medications or oestrogen-based hormone therapies these may reduce the cholesterol-lowering efficacy of UDCA within bile.
• Not recommended for use in pregnant animals unless specifically directed by a veterinarian after careful risk-benefit assessment.

Storage Advice:

Store UDCAK9-150 film-coated tablets at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. Keep in original strip packaging until immediately before use to protect tablets from moisture exposure and maintain film coat integrity. Keep out of reach of children and non-target animals at all times. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the strip or outer carton.
