About this active substance

Maralixibat is a medication used for the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis associated with rare conditions such as Alagille syndrome. It works by inhibiting the bile salt transporter, reducing their accumulation in the liver.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, and is intended for pediatric patients. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

Side effects may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, or weight loss. In rare cases, allergic reactions or elevated liver enzymes may occur.

Maralixibat is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or those with complete biliary obstruction.
