It's given in the US too; I am on it now. I take it with my Urso. I have severe itching with it though, so my doctor changed my dose to 5 mg every other day with my Urso at 600 mg a day.

I asked my consultant about it this week (Wednesday), Manchester UK and he said it wasn't available yet, via NHS anyway. Not been approved re costs yet. Has that changed?

Hopefully it will be available in Scotland in the future . It's very good news though.
