What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Ocaliva Overview
Ocaliva is used alone or in combination treatment for a certain liver disease (primary biliary cholangitis-PBC). This disease slowly destroys the bile ducts in the liver. When bile ducts are damaged, harmful substances can build up in bile and scar the liver. Obeticholic acid works by causing your liver to make less bile, and by helping bile flow out of the liver. Obeticholic acid may help slow worsening of primary biliary cholangitis and decrease symptoms such as tiredness, itchy skin, abdominal pain, and dry eyes and mouth.
Ocaliva Warnings
Although Ocaliva is used to treat a certain liver disease, it has caused serious (even fatal) worsening of liver function, especially when taken at a higher dose than recommended. Your doctor should prescribe your dose based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To lower your chance of side effects, follow your doctor's dosage instructions carefully. Before starting treatment with Ocaliva, your doctor should order lab tests to see if you have severe liver disease. Ocaliva should not be used by people with certain types of liver disease. Consult your doctor for more details. Your doctor should also order lab tests and watch for symptoms of worsening liver function during treatment (see also Side Effects section).
How to Use Ocaliva
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking obeticholic acid and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take Ocaliva by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. The Dosage of Ocaliva is based on your medical condition, lab tests, and response to treatment. If you have side effects, your doctor may direct you to temporarily stop taking Ocaliva, or to take it less often. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure about your dosage instructions. Use Ocaliva regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. If you also take certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take obeticholic acid at least 4 hours before or at least 4 hours after taking these medications. These products can keep you from absorbing obeticholic acid fully. Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it gets worse.
Ocaliva Precautions
