Does Ursoflor require a prescription, and is there an over the counter medicine that is equal in effectiveness? What is the cost of the drug? ## Hello, Mary! How are you? That name brand is not available here, but the the same medication is available under other names and yes, it requires a prescription. It contains the active ingredient Ursodeoxycholic Acid and is most commonly used to help lower cholesterol and to treat bilary cirrhosis. Its typical side effects include nausea and dizziness, as reported by the FDA. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi, where can I buy something similar to ursoflor 300mg?
