What does ursodiol 300 mg cost in Kenya right now?
I don’t have access to live Kenyan pharmacy or e-commerce pricing from the information provided here, so I can’t quote an exact “current price” for ursodiol 300 mg in Kenya.
If you share either (1) the brand name you’re looking for (and manufacturer, if shown) or (2) a link/screenshot of the product listing, I can help you estimate whether the price you’re seeing is in line with typical sourcing patterns and what to check (tablet strength, pack size, and whether it’s ursodiol vs. another bile-acid product).
Where to check the price quickly in Kenya
To get the most reliable current figure, search in Kenya using these terms (include “300 mg” and “ursodiol”):
- “ursodiol 300 mg tablets”
- “UDCA 300 mg” (UDCA is ursodeoxycholic acid; many products use this wording)
- Add the brand name if known (brands can differ even when the strength is the same)
Then compare results by:
- Tablet count per pack (e.g., 30, 60, 100 tablets)
- Importer/wholesaler pricing vs. retail markup
- Whether the listing is for “ursodiol” or “ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)” (they are the same active ingredient in most contexts)
Why the price can vary a lot (even for the same 300 mg dose)
Prices change based on:
- Brand vs. generic
- Pack size (cost per tablet can drop with larger packs)
- Import route and availability (stockouts often drive price up)
- Whether it’s tablet strength 300 mg specifically (some markets carry mainly 250 mg or 500 mg)
Can you use a different strength to reduce cost?
Often, patients switch between 250 mg, 300 mg, or 500 mg tablets depending on availability and prescribed daily dose. Your prescriber/pharmacist can confirm the correct dose-equivalence for your regimen before you substitute.
If you tell me your prescription instructions (daily total dose, and whether it’s once or divided), I can help you work out whether a different available strength could match it.

Send me 2 details and I’ll narrow it down
Reply with:
1) The brand name (or a photo/link of the listing), and
2) The pack size (number of tablets or capsules).
Then I’ll help you compute an accurate per-tablet price and estimate whether it looks reasonable for Kenya.
