The dosage of the drug is selected by the doctor, and the type of medicine can be determined by the patient, depending on preferences and ease of use.

Belarusian, Ukrainian generics
In the countries closest to Russia, they produce their own analogues of Ursosan.
In Ukraine it is:
- Ursokhol in the form of capsules of 250 mg (100 pcs. In a pack);
- Stole in the form of a suspension (250 mg per 5 ml of solution) or in tablets (250 and 500 mg in packs of 30 and 100 pcs.);
- Ursomax in capsules of 250 mg per 100 pcs. packaged.
The Republic of Belarus produces the generic Ursosan - Ursocaps. It is in the form of capsules with 250 mg of active substance. Instructions for use are similar to those of the original drug. It contains recommended norms for each case of the disease, which can be adjusted by the attending physician depending on the patient's condition.
Foreign hepatoprotector substitutes
Among foreign drugs with a low price, the Indian counterpart Livodex can be distinguished. But the concentration of the active substance in one capsule is 150 or 300 mg, which is less than in Ursosan, and in one package - 50 pcs. This must be considered when choosing a dosage.
A less budgetary analogue is the Egyptian Holudexan. It is available in the form of capsules with a concentration of 300 mg. In a pack - only 20 pcs., Which is less than that of Ursosan. Therefore, the benefits of such a replacement may be doubtful.
The German drug Ursofalk is not inferior in effectiveness to Ursosan. It is produced in the form of a suspension for oral administration and in the form of capsules. In 5 ml of solution and 1 tablet contains 250 mg of ursodeoxycholic acid. The pack contains 10, 50 or 100 pcs. capsules or 1-2 bottles per 250 ml of suspension.
In the search for analogues of Ursosan, it is worth paying attention not only to the price and active substance, but also to its concentration.
Budget generics may contain less active ingredient, which will require a larger dosage for treatment. This may not be as profitable as it seemed at first glance. Therefore, the medicine must be selected with a doctor and refuse to independently replace one with another.
