Role of ursodeoxycholic acid in prevention of hepatotoxicity caused by amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in rats.

Incidence of hepatotoxicity caused by the broad spectrum antibiotic combination amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (Co-amoxyclav) has been increasingly recognized and the mechanism of this toxicity remains undefined. On the other hand, Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been suggested as efficient antioxidant therapy in various liver diseases. Therefore, the present study was designed to elucidate the po...
