Did Ocaliva Cause Your Liver Damage?

Ocaliva Recall Lawsuit Claims

See If You Qualify For Compensation

If you took Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) for primary biliary cholangitis and later developed cirrhosis, liver failure, or needed a liver transplant, you may be entitled to compensation.

Ocaliva was prescribed to patients with early-stage or non-cirrhotic PBC and promoted as a treatment to slow disease progression.

However, mounting medical evidence shows the drug may accelerate liver damage, even in patients who had preserved liver function before starting treatment.

Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?

Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) is a medication used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease.

Drug manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the safety and efficacy of their products before marketing them for public consumption. Failure to do so is considered negligent and grounds for litigation.

Intercept Pharmaceuticals voluntarily withdrew Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) from the U.S. market on September 11, 2025, at the FDA’s request.

The FDA cited reports of liver failure and transplants linked to the drug, indicating the events were likely caused by Ocaliva rather than disease progression.

Many patients report that after starting Ocaliva, they experienced:

• Rapid progression to cirrhosis

• Hepatic decompensation (ascites, encephalopathy, variceal bleeding)

• Worsening bilirubin and liver function

• Liver transplant evaluation or surgery

• Fatal liver failure

In numerous cases, patients did not have cirrhosis when Ocaliva was prescribed.
