Ursodeoxycholic acid and Cerebral infarction - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Cerebral infarction is reported as a side effect among people who take Ursodeoxycholic acid (ursodiol), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Silodosin, and have High blood pressure.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Cerebral infarction when taking Ursodeoxycholic acid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 7,467 people who have side effects when taking Ursodeoxycholic acid from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
