Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 A great big thanks to everyone who replied! I am predominantly looking for some calibration with others in my situation (why is so GREAT!) Is anyone taking Rifampicin in conjunction with Urso? My Urso dosage is 600mg per day. I weigh around 115kg’s or about 250lbs. So it still seems much lower than your dosages. My Rifampicin dosage is at the moment the center of a debate between me and my pharmacy (on a repeatable script) They are looking it up for me, but thought I was taking it wrong. Now I am confused and no longer sure either. I distinctly remember taking two tablets daily, but what happened was my pharmacy struggle getting the drug and I got a different strength tablet from them everytime, from 100mg/capsule to 450mg tablets. I think I am supposed to have 2 x 200mg per day. I have referred my pharmacist to my Hepato-GI for the correct data. Thanks, -SJ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lee Bria Sent: 26 February 2006 20:13 PM To: Subject: Re: Urso dosage Dear SJ, You can find papers on the high dose Urso in the file section on the yahoo home page. These were the papers I took to my son's physician. High dose is 30mg/kg/body weight. I pound is equal to .45359237 kg's so if 140 pounds,, that would be 63.5 kg x 30 mg equals 1,905.08 mg of urso. This is my son's weight and so he takes 2,000mg of urso daily. Lee Hi All, For those of you who also use Urso, what is the typical daily dosage for you?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 -SJ, My son is currently on 1200mg/day and weighs 120 Ib. Actually he was changed from 600mg/dy to 1200/dy after I sent the literature on high dose ursa to his hepatologist. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
