Taking Ursodiol for Gallbladder

[longhaul68 27]

I was prescribed 600 mg a day of ursodiol to prevent gallbladder problems beginning today at 3 weeks. Each capsule is 200 mg. If you had similar RX, did you spread out taking throughout the day or take all at once? Just wondering if my pouch can absorb all three capsules at one time. Thank you for any advice on this. I’ll call my nurse today but it often takes them a long time to respond.

I took that for the first few months (3? 6? can't remember), but I think it was a tablet - and it was just one per day. I don't remember the mg, but it was likely equivalent to your three capsules. Yes - just call your nurse and ask (ursodiol is a generic - so whatever version you have must have come from a different company than mine)

Thanks for your input- yeah, I’m on it for 6 months: Reltone. I’m guessing i can spread it out over the morning but I’ve put in a call.

I split mine up throughout the day so I’m not taking too much at one time. But yes, good idea to ask your nurse.

I was prescribed Ursodiol 300mg twice a day, so for the day it was 600mg. I would have one with Breakfast around 9 and the other around 5pm.

This is what I do.
