Nexium and urso

[Pamela4475]

Does anyone here take meds for Fred and pbc? When I look these two up it doesn't seem like I should take together

[Pamela4475]

[Cat19 in reply to Pamela4475]

I take 40 mgs as well take with my Urso have done for couple of years.

[Julez1961 in reply to Pamela4475]

I was thinking omg what is Fred is that something else I'm going to get. Ha ha!

Glad it's no new disease.

I take omeprazole 20mg and also Zantac 150mg twice a day. My doctors said it was ok. I have been taking them since before diagnosed with PBC.

I used to take naxium with urso. it was expensive so I switch to generic pentaprozole prescribed by dr.

[Cat19 in reply to Sachin1234]

Is the Naxium for your heart burn?

[Pamela4475 in reply to Cat19]

Yes

[Cat19 in reply to Pamela4475]

I take 1000 mg Urso (500mg x 2 day) and 40 mg nexium (once a day) or, 600 mg zantec (twice a day). I usually try to space them out. For example, I take nexium in the morning before I take anything else. 1-2 hours later, I take Urso and eat. So, I don't take nexium or zantec together with urso. Also, if you are on premarin (or some other hormone replacement drug) don't take premarin and urso together.

Thank you

I'm finding things better since I separated them. I was on Parriet but am now on Somac 40mg twice a day, which I take half an hour before meals. The Urso I take with my meal.

[cfsummerford72]

Im on carafate ca t take with anything bc it coats the lining or anything that is taken with it.

Thank you

Took nexium for years with urso and my pbc did not progress. I guess every one is different and only a good Dr taking regular bloods would notice if things were to change.

[iagra in reply to Wilmahair]

Can you please, clarify, are you taking urso and nexium together, at the same time? For example, you take urso at 10 am and you take nexium, at the same time, at 10 am? Thanks.

[Pamela4475 in reply to iagra]

Taking both but at different times

[iagra in reply to Pamela4475]

Thanks!

[Wilmahair in reply to iagra]

Yes I did for many years. Both together. At same time.

[iagra in reply to Wilmahair]

Thanks!

[Pamela4475]

Thanks

Yep 👍 I take Nexium upon waking, then my Urso with my evening meal, for about 2 years now, & it hasn't affected my results. X

[iagra in reply to Dieselwales]

How much urso a day to do you take? I take 1000 mg, in two doses, 500 mg morning and 500 mg evening. Do you take urso in one dose? Thanks.

[Dieselwales in reply to iagra]

Hi iagra

My dosage is the same, 1000mg, & I used to take it just like you, morning & night. But speaking to a fellow PBC sufferer who is being treated by a PBC specialist at Birmingham hospital, she was advised to take it in one go, & take it at night, which is the most beneficial time, apparently. So that's what I do now.

Hope that helps.

[iagra in reply to Dieselwales]

Thanks very much! I'll check with my gastro, taking once at night would be so much easier, especially if this is the best time to take it.

I've been on urso for 6 months. GGT went back to normal. Other LFTs were normal to begin with. But, Alkiline Phos is still too high, at 180 (upper normal limit is 120 as specified in my lab results). Though, it did go down from 250 to 180 on urso.

Did urso bring your LFTs all the way down to normal range? How long did it take? Thanks!

[Dieselwales in reply to iagra]

My last bloods were : ALP 124 which has come right down & GGT 70, so still struggling with GGT, but it is better than it was. Probably took about 12 months, but I think everyone is different.

Keep smiling 😊

[iagra in reply to Dieselwales]

Thank you so much! Wishing you the best of health too!

[Pamela4475 in reply to iagra]

I take 300 mg three times a day.... just started on it 1 1/2 weeks ago

[iagra in reply to Pamela4475]

Thanks! Good luck to you!

[Julez1961]

I take both in the morning and have for 7 years. All good for me 40mg Nexium and 6 Urso tablets

[Pamela4475]

Thank you everyone for the replies... makes me feel less alone... no husband or family near me
