ursodiol therpy
I have early stage cirrhosis. Is ursodiol theraphy appropriate? Are there any bad side effects? TY
I did a Google search and found
“Ursodeoxycholic acid is the only drug approved for primary biliary cirrhosis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. ”
There is a lot of good information from reputable sources about Ursodeoxycholic acid therapy for primary biliary cirrhosis and also off label in other cholestatic liver conditions including sclerosing cholangitis, graft-vs-host disease, cholestasis of pregnancy and the liver disease of cystic fibrosis.
But you would be best served by asking your liver specialist about the best treatment plan for you.
