Where to buy Obeticholic acid

Obeticholic acid (Obeticholic acid) is used to treat adults with a liver disease called primary cholangitis. Primary cholangitis is an autoimmune disease in which the small bile ducts in the liver are gradually destroyed. These tubes carry a fluid called bile from the liver to the intestines, where it is used to help digest fats. Due to damage to the bile ducts, bile accumulates in the liver, causing damage to liver tissue. This can lead to scarring and liver failure, and may increase the risk of liver cancer.

Obeticholic acid contains the active substanceObeticholic, it is used together with another drug, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), in patients who do not respond well to ursodeoxycholic acid alone, or in patients who cannot take ursodeoxycholic acid alone. Primary cholangitis is rare, and obeticholic acid was designated an "orphan drug" (a drug used for rare diseases) on July 27, 2010.

The original drug of obeticholic acid has not yet been launched in the country, and therefore it has not been included in the medical insurance. Patients who need it in China cannot purchase this drug and can only buy drugs marketed abroad. However, the original drug of obeticholic acid marketed overseas is expensive, with each box costing around tens of thousands of yuan. It is also affected by the exchange rate and the price is unstable. It is understood that obeticholic acid has been produced as a generic drug and its ingredients are basically the same as those of the original drug. For example, the price of 5mg*30 tablets produced by a Bangladesh pharmaceutical factory is around RMB 1,000 per box (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate), and the price is cheap.
