Urso

[Ellyne]

Why would you not take Urso unless you are not a responder? What were the side effects that made you switch meds?

Saw your post but didn’t see who you’re asking?

[Ellyne in reply to gwillistexas]

I was asking anyone with this experience.

[gwillistexas in reply to Ellyne]

My situation was that I itched & broke out in huge whelps within 8 days of Urso.

So you had an allergic reaction right away. I am noticing that I am having acid reflux and it is waking me during the night. I take all 3 pills with dinner. This is a new development

I take 3 urso in the morning and 3 before bed I find drinking a very big glass of water with them helps

[Foote in reply to Louisethew]

You are taking 6 pills a day, what is the total doses in mg.?

[ninjagirlwebb]

It might be better to space out the 3 pills. I take one in the morning & one at night. See if that decreases acid reflux.

[Ellyne]

I will try that tomorrow.

Hi Ellyne, I too had the worst constipation, felt swollen all over, fluid retention. I’m taking second time around as post transplant and seem to have a worst reaction this time. I’ve been advised by hospital too halve the dose. I’m only taking one 250mg daily now helped hugely. I’ve always been a little sceptical about urso as to looking good on paper I’d clinical bloods, even masking the real extent of illness. However I hasten to add this is only a suspicion and I’m sure there is more evidence to the contrary. I certainly will continue to take urso at low dose and pray that my bloods are going in the right direction. I hope your getting on ok with them yourself. All the best to you.

Spaced out the pills after each meal. 300mg each. Feeling much better now. Acid reflux gone. However, constipation remains. Using Senna. Otherwise ....
