Urso Reviews

For Primary Biliary Cholangitis "I was diagnosed with PBC-Stage 2 in February 2008 and started taking URSO. I was sent to Baylor a few weeks later, and their tests indicated I had a negative AMA! They asked me to stop taking URSO to see if weight loss alone would improve the condition. I was off URSO for 4 months and lost 25 lbs. My AMA count is higher now than ever, so I am going back on URSO this morning. It is very obvious to me that URSO put my antibodies to sleep while I was on the drug. That is why my doctor put me back on it today."


For Primary Biliary Cholangitis "I've been taking four Ursodiol tablets a day for many years. My liver enzymes have stayed normal. Biopsy showed Stage 1."


For Primary Biliary Cholangitis "I've been taking Urso for 6 years. My blood levels are now in check. Original biopsy showed stage 4-5 liver damage. Found when I had gallbladder removal surgery."
