Actual studies of methods of cholelithiasis treatment are discussed, including selection of patients - candidates for therapy, using of various drugs of ursodeoxycholic acid, aspects of costs for treatment. It is necessary to fulfill the requirements for diagnosis and selection of patients for oral litholysis, which ensures the success of therapy. Choosing a treatment it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the drugs, the quality of production and the substance.
