Yes I took it a few months ago and also had terrible itching. My silicon hairbrush became my new best friend! So I stopped. My consultant then put me on to Bezafibrate which causes zero itching and has vastly improved my bloods. I can’t take Urso so this is my only hope atm.

I started on one Octilva a year ago no side effects at all, Once you take you will start to feel a lot better and liver enzymes are stable and going back to normal levels.
