Re: Tips on swallowing those urso pills

[Guest guest]

I don’t

know what everyone else’s are like, but Noah’s are caplets. He has

not had trouble, but I think some people have more sensitive gag reflexes than

others. He only has to take 2 at a time too, so the mind does not see the whole

handful. He also had no trouble with the enormous fish oil tablets either…so

maybe I just got lucky.

Good luck…I

would call the pharmacist and see if there is another way to deal with it. They

usually come up with good suggestions on stuff like that.

Dear Ellen,

I also have (mental) problems with swallowing 'big' pills. Therefore

I usually break the Urso pills in 4 and take them with milk (it says

to take them with milk in the 'manual' of the pills I take, but I

guess that is just to cover up the taste (I also use milk to take

with the fish oil)). My tip for swallowing the pills if not broken

down to small pieces would be to force oneself to relax the throat

muscles while swallowing.

bouillon cubes or something....

My son takes ursadiol and these are capsules (you know the two color

outer cover ones like some antibiotics). Any one on those?

I too take the red and white generic 300mg ursodiol capsules. Others

take the Urso brand 250mg tablets or the Urso Forte 500mg tablets sold

by Axcan Pharma - a sponsor of the Pittsburgh PSC conference.
