Obeticholic acid (OCA), sold under the brand name Ocaliva, is a medication used to treat primary biliary cholangitis.[3] It is generally used in addition to ursodeoxycholic acid when this is insufficiently effective.[3] It is taken by mouth.[3]

Common side effects include itching and tiredness.[1] Other side effects may include liver problems.[3] It is a modified form of bile acid and works by attaching to farnesoid X receptors and decreasing bile production by the liver.[1]

Obeticholic acid was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2016.[4][1] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £2,400 per month as of 2021.[3] In the United States this amount costs about 8,000 USD.[5]
