Overview of Dehydrocholic Acid

 

Dehydrocholic Acid is an artificial bile acid that is used as a choleretic drug as well as a laxative to treat problems with constipation and biliary tracts. It is renowned for its capacity to improve bile flow as well as aid digestion. Dehydrocholic Acid is extensively used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and hepatobiliary performance enhancement.

This API appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with good stability under standard storage conditions. Its mechanism—stimulation of bile secretion by the liver—increases bile flow into the intestines, promoting digestion, fat absorption, and bowel movement.

Related products include Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Chenodeoxycholic Acid, Bile Salts, and other choleretic and hepatoprotective agents used in liver and gallbladder disease management.
