Pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cholesterol gallstone comprising ursodeoxycholic acid (udca) and omega-3 fatty acid, and process for producing the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a gallstone solubilizing agent, comprising ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; omega-3 fatty acid; and an excipient, the gallstone solubilizing agent resulting in a process which prevents cholesterol gallstones from being formed or causes cholesterol gallstones to be dissolved, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and a health functional food composition comprising the same. A pharmaceutical composition prepared to have UDCA and omega-3 fatty acid at an optimal content ratio allows cholesterol to remain in a dissolved state without forming crystals, and thus results in a process which prevents cholesterol gallstones from being formed or causes cholesterol gallstones to be dissolved, thereby exhibiting increased effects of preventing or treating cholesterol gallstones.
