Table 2 Changes in serum liver test during the administration of sequences A and B in three different times. Comparation in serum liver tests during the administration of sequences A and B in three different times (T0, T1 and T2). There were no significant changes in the test results, indicating that there are no differences between the drugs. These results showed the therapeutic efficacy of the drug manufactured in capsules and tablets relative to the standard drug.

From: A randomized crossover trial to assess therapeutic efficacy and cost reduction of acid ursodeoxycholic manufactured by the university hospital for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis
