Hello Karaliz.

Thank you for the posting. I had to put a bit of your link in my search (Google uk) to find the posting as yours isn't working. I also went on Intercept's website to find out more information.

I then put the name of this new drug in my search and UK as that is where I am and have found the NHS site under new drugs. I cannot translate what it all means but am interested in finding out more in due course.

If this new drug may prove another defence for PBC then I will be taking note just in case as I think it might be from other readings elsewhere notso long ago, a case of patients who are not responding or find they are struggling to take the urso may be switched to this new OCA. Maybe in the near future it could be suggested otherwise but we shall have to see.

The link is here for the NHS I found.
