Earlier today I posted the link to the PBC Foundaton's Urso calculator. There are so many posts and questions relating to Urso that I thought it was important for everyone to make sure they are on the right dose. This 'calculator' is also available on the PBC app. Knowing you are taking the right dose can make sure that you are given every chance for this medication to work. The most important thing to rememer is that the dosage is NEVER based on lab results or your symptoms. It is ONLY based on your body weight. As your weight can significantly change, have a conversation with your doctor about possibly changing the amount you take. We all want the Urso to have every chance to help maintain our bile duct and liver health. If someone needs a calculator in another language, contact The PBC Foundation for it. pbcfoundation.org.uk We all owe it to ourselves to make sure we are taking the right dose.
