Just about to take my first Ursogal.

[berg944]

3 x 250 mg per day.

Can I still take Lansoprazole (acid blockers)?

[Axl888]

I take Urso and pantaprozole (for acid) both prescribed by my GP.

[berg944 in reply to Axl888]

Thanks, same drug so should be OK.

You should run this by your GP, since it really isn't a question any of us (unless medically trained and familiar with your history) can answer.

[berg944 in reply to Hidden]

GP useless, signed off prescription without even a request to see me. Sometimes takes weeks to get an appointment. I had to wait over a month for a blood test.

[nannan]

I take Urso and an acid tab but you could check if you are concerned

[berg944 in reply to nannan]

Acid tab.......are you a child of the 60's nannan.

[nannan in reply to berg944]

Sorry couldn't remember how to spell it I take omeprazole just like Munofthree

[mumofthree]

I take URSO with omeprazole prescribed by my GP

[Hidden]

Berg, you could ask your pharmacist.

[debg]

i take it 30mg a day

[zipitydoo]

I also take urso and omeprazole.

[LStonelli]

I take the same two meds

[Hidden]

Noticed here now, quite a few of you seem to be on prescript antacids, can anyone fill me in?

I never suffered from heartburn until I started Urso Dec 2010 and presumed a side-effect of the tabs being a form of bile acid equivalent. The symptons disappeared after a few mths.

Altho' anyone taking more than one meds at a time should speak to someone with regards to how they could be with them as healthangel has stated, I think these days doctors seem to have it all on computer when writing scripts whether advisable to administer certain drugs when should be used in caution with certain conditions/tablets.

I personally don't deem paracetamol safe for anyone with PBC but has to be a case of something so temporarily if so could be used with caution.

i was already taking the lanzoprazole for hiatus hernia for several years before being diagnosed with PBC Dec 2010

[littlemo in reply to Hidden]

I'm on Omeprazole 20mgs daily and actually was on it before I was diagnosed with PBC as always had a lot of bother with heartburn and indeed when I think back I had an acidy stomach from my late teens so maybe the bile build up has been a problem since way back then.

[PamRopp]

I take URSO 300mg. 3 times a day. I also take Zantac - 150 mg. morning and night.

[Junolee]

I also talk an "acid tab" prescribed because of possible side effects of steroids and also Urso.

[berg944]

Appropriate use of smiley, lol

Hi there, I take urso and landsoprazol. I have had a hiatus hernia for over 10 years and Pbc for about a year now. I take my landsoprazol first thing in the morning and then the urso about an hour later. Took a little while to get used to urso as it made me feel a little sick and wobbly at times but found that eating and drinking regularly helped, now I have no probs with it.
