Weight gain after urso?

Have been on Urso about 5 years. My specialty pharmacy will no longer have so they didn't refill and didn't notify me. As a result no meds for 2 months. Have gained nearly 20 lbs. Am trying to get gastro to find me new pharmacy. In the meantime worried about weight gain. Any thoughts?

Nothing is scarier for me when I run out of my Urisdol! I recently lost a months worth & couldn’t get a refill for them. I’d have to contact my pharmacy & pay out of pocket! I found them thank goodness!

Have you contacted other pharmacies in your area? If it’s been 2 months & your gastro hasn’t connected you with a pharmacy, then you need to take control and advocate for yourself. Contact your insurance company, they should be able to help you. Shop around, use programs like GoodRx for the cheapest prices and the pharmacies you can use.

Good Luck!
