Urso Dosage.

Hi,

Hoping somebody can help!

I keep reading that Urso is usually 15mg per day... but my tablets are 250mg and my specialist/consultant put me on 4 a day, so 1000mg per day... I'm wondering why the vast difference?

Thank you.

The dosage is to do with your weight. I think it might be 15 mg per kilo weight. 1000 mg per day is a very common dose. Don't worry.

4 250mg a day sounds quite normal... It also varies on weight.. But I was on 4 a day.... Hope that helps. X

Urso dosage all depends on how much you weigh. There is no standard dose.

Are your counts up? Mine was increased because the dosage i was on before wasn't bringing my counts down. I take 500 mg 3 times a day and my counts are good now.

I take 1250 = 5 capsules. I have no symptoms with my liver, I take them because Doctors told me to. I haven't gained any weight , I do weigh 99kilos.

Hope that helps.

Urso is given by weight of the person needing it.. so 15mg would not ever be a correct amount.. unless you were like 60 lbs.. at 149 lbs I take 1000mg

Not what you're looking for?
