How long does it take ursodeoxycholic acid to work when you have pregnancy cholestasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few days: Ursodiol is an effective treatment for the pruritis associated with cholestasis of pregnancy. Generally, the pruritis associated with cholestasis will begin to improve within 3-7 days after starting the ursodiol therapy. Once the pregnancy ends the pruritis usually abates and no further therapy with ursodiol is needed.
