** ANNOUNCEMENT **

The Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK have announced the approval of Seladelpar (Livdelzi) to be used in the treatment of adult patients in the UK with Primary Biliary Cholangitis.

This is exciting news as it provides an additional second line therapy to be used in combination with Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) for patients who have had an inadequate response to UDCA alone or as a new treatment for patients who are unable to tolerate UDCA. We welcome this decision by MHRA and look forward to seeing what happens with NICE in due course.

Thanks for always sharing the latest updates on PBC and related treatments. I have been taking urso since August 2023 and responded positively ever since. No side effects except that I have noticed increased hair thinning. Thank you once again for your sterling work!

I know so many people who have the hair thinning too. There is a shampoo many recommend - Biotin.
