Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ursodeoxycholic acid is contraindicated in patients with cirrhosis as it may exacerbate the condition. The drug can also cause mild gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea, which are not contraindications as long as they are not severe. Pre-existing constipation is also not a contraindication to this treatment.
