Gall Bladder Meds



Recommended Posts

I am on meds to prevent gallbladder stones but the pills are HUGE! Hard to get down. Anyone else on these?

never heard of 'em! hope they work! :)

can you break them in half or something?.. if it's a solid pill, you can use a pill cutter & make it smaller & more manageable. :) if it's a capsule, then i'm sorry it's big. :(

Ursodial. They are huge capsules. Dr said reduces odds of stones by 30%. Take twice a day and they hurt going down. A real pain as they feel like they get stuck every time.

I am still doing chewable vits but thought about crushing regular ones into smoothy. When chewables gone I will try it.

Actigall is available as a capsule, and can be opened and dumped/mixed in unsweetened applesauce. I do this twice a day. The medicine doesn't affect the taste of the applesauce at all.

I'm also on the same pill. My Doctor won't let me swallow pills - I have to open them up and put them in pudding to take them.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
