Ocaliva (Obeticholic Acid) is a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist used in the treatment of adult patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis who do not have evidence of portal hypertension, either in conjunction with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in those who have not responded well enough to ursodeoxycholic acid or alone in those who can not tolerate ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).
Recommended Dosage: The recommended dose of Ocaliva tablet for primary biliary cholangitis patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis who do not have known portal hypertension, who have not reached an apt biochemical response to an apt dosage of ursodeoxycholic acid for at least 12 months or are intolerant to ursodeoxycholic acid follows below:
- Start with an Ocaliva dosage of 5 mg once a day with or without food for the first three months.
- Following the first 3 months, for individuals who have not reached an appropriate reduction in ALP or total bilirubin and those who are tolerating the medicine Ocaliva, enhance to a maximum dosage of 10 mg once a day.
Take Ocaliva either with or without meal/food. For patients with bile acid binding resin, take Ocaliva 5mg or 10mg at least 4 hours before or 4 hours following the use of bile acid binding resin, or at as great an interval as possible.
- Treatment with Ocaliva 5 mg/10 mg tablets should be used with caution in those with cirrhosis. There is a risk of worsening liver function, leading to hepatic decompensation or failure. Regular monitoring of liver function is essential. If symptoms of worsening liver disease occur, stop this treatment and consult your healthcare provider immediately.
- Some patients may experience severe itching (pruritus) while taking Obeticholic Acid. This can be intense and affect daily life. If severe pruritus occurs, contact your healthcare provider to discuss possible treatments or adjustments to your medication regimen.
- Therapy with Obeticholic Acid 5 mg/10 mg can reduce levels of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). It is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly. Discuss with your healthcare provider the potential implications for your cardiovascular health and whether any additional measures are needed to manage cholesterol levels.
- The safety of Ocaliva during pregnancy has not been established. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your healthcare provider. Ocaliva should only be used if the potential benefits justify the risks to the fetus.
