Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.You are most probably suffering from Cholestasis of pregnancy.The term "cholestasis" refers to any condition in which the flow of bile, slows or stops. Pregnancy is one of many possible causes of cholestasis. The cause of cholestasis of pregnancy is unknown.
Udiliv enhances the clearance of bile and thus help in reducing level of liver enzymes. It is medicine of choice in pregnancy for this condition.
So, you can take udiliv 300 at current gestational age. It is quite safe. You should take easily digestible food, drink more water and take adequate rest. Max dose is 300 mg twice a day. You can start with 150mg.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you
