2. How long can i keep taking this.
Just to add I am a non-smoker and non-alchohoilc.

Hi,
Udiliv is a medication used to dissolve gall stones. It contains bile acids. Fatty liver is a condition wherein there is a abnormal functioning of hepatocytes. In your case I would not have suggested Udiliv as its action may not be useful.
If you were my patient, I prefer 'sorbiline' which is taken with a glass of XXXXXXX warm water in the morning on empty stomach for a period of at least 6 months. This should be accompanied by a short course of hepa merz tablets in the recommended doses for 21 days. Your doctor will know about this medicines.
Avoid fatty foods or extra XXXXXXX foods. I appreciate the fact that you neither smoke nor consume alcohol, maintain it.
Do not take any medicines without the knowledge of your doctor e.g: herbal, ayurvedic etc as any medicine can potentially alter the function of the liver.
You can also discuss with your doctor about repeating Ultrasound scan of the Abdomen. Serum liver function tests along with lipid profile also to be repeated.
Hope this answers your query. Please accept the answer if you do not have any follow up questions.
