It takes 6 to 12 for gallstones to get dissolved.

<h3>What are gallstones and how does it gets dissolved ?</h3>

Bile that has been stored in the gallbladder solidifies into a substance like stone to create gallstones. Gallstones can be brought on by an excess of cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin (a bile pigment).

Cholelithiasis is the medical term for the presence of gallstones within the gallbladder itself.

Small, radiolucent gallstones predominantly made of cholesterol have been broken down with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA [URSO, Actigall]) and chenodeoxycholic acid (chenodiol or CDCA [Chenix]).

Many patients need six to twelve months of therapy to dissolve stones, and throughout this time, the patient must be watched for the recurrence of symptoms or the development of side effects (such as GI issues, pruritus, or headaches).
