Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi Bettyann, I am taking 2000 mg Urso Forte per day and my weight is at the moment 114 lb. I'll take 1000 mg in the morning and 1000 mg at night. So far except from time to time I have diarrhea and also some itching occuring with this high dosis, but otherwise I am doing so far ok. Do you have any other side effects? I have to take as well 20 mg Creon 3 x a day for my chronic pancreatitis, which I don't have any problems at all with it.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I just saw a PSC specialist in Chapel Hill and he switched me from 750mg of URSO a day to 1800 of the generic URSODIOL a day. I weigh 110 pounds. Supposedly that increase is a recent finding by the Mayo folks. No side effects that I can tell of and the generic is half the price of the URSO..... Triplets!!! Wow I bow to you in all ways, Best wishes, Liz > Lori > lucky mom to wonderfully wild 9 year old triplets > > > > __________________________________________ Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have experienced no side effects from Ursodiol (or Actigall, Urso-250). I weigh ~180 lbs and take 2100 mg/day. I also take 2 gm/day of sulfasalazine (predecessor to Asacol). Arne 54 - UC 9/77 - PSC 4/00 Alive and (mostly) well in Minnesota -----Original Message----- From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of dlmcamaross ....I have been taking Urso for about a week and a half now and I am in a constant state of feeling like I just took some cold medicine. Is this to be expected? I see tiredness can be a side effect, but I've never had a drug make me feel like this before. I am currently taking Asacol, Imuran, Levsinex, and Zyrtec along with the Urso. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Darren (PSC 2005, UC 1995) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
