FIELD: pharmaceutical chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention deals with creating pharmaceutical compositions containing bile acids and methods of treatment using these compositions. For this purpose, invention provides transparent aqueous solution containing bile acid or its compounds, polysaccharide, and water. Amounts of the two formers are selected so that they remain in solution at all values within selected pH range. Administration of such a composition increases level of enterohepatic bile acid in body, including blood, and also increases absorption of bile acid. Addition of various drug to composition allows effective treatment of corresponding diseases.
