Disease Explanation

thumbnail.sv

Gallstones are solid formations, typically composed of cholesterol or bilirubin, that develop in the gallbladder. These stones may block the bile ducts and can trigger pain in upper-right portion of abdomen. While most gallstones are painless, causing no blockages (referred to as "silent" gallstones), untreated symptoms can lead to complications.

FAQ's on Higato Tablet

When should I take Higato?

The suitable timing of taking this medicine might differ depending upon your condition. Your doctor might instruct you to take 2 to 3 doses per day and suggest to take the last dose at bedtime. Higato should be taken with water milk and can be taken with food or after food. When prescribed for dissolving gallstones, it is usually suggested to be taken once daily at night. Ideally, it should be taken at a gap of 6 hours, for example at 8 am, 2 pm and 8 pm.

What should I avoid while taking Higato?

While taking Higato, avoid taking an antacid preparation without consulting your doctor, as they decrease the effectiveness of Higato. You should also avoid medicines like cholestyramine or colestipol as they affect the effectiveness of Higato. So, ask your doctor about the time gap that should be maintained between Higato and these medicines. Also, avoid taking oral contraceptives, estrogenic hormones and blood cholesterol-lowering agents such as clofibrate as they may increase the chances of developing gallstones and act opposite to the Higato.

Does Higato cause weight gain?

Yes, there is a chance of weight gain with Higato, but it is not common. The use of Higato can cause weight gain when prescribed in patients with liver disease associated with chronic stasis of bile in small bile ducts of the liver. In such condition bile cannot flow from the liver to the small intestine. Again, the chance of weight gain varies from person to person depending upon the disease, so consult your doctor if you experience weight gain.

How does Higato help the liver?

Higato 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 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.

Is Higato safe?

Higato 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.
