actagal-ursodiol

Any one taking this.Iwas put on this right after surgery.Was wondering if any one else is thaking this and how long you are to take it for?I take one am and pm.Also how many of you had to have your galbladder out any way?Even though you took them. thanks much. Deb

Hi there Deb, I had to take Actigall for 6 months twice a day. I have not had my gallbladder out. Taking the pill is supposed to prevent gallstones.l dont know I just took it. Good Luck.... Lorraine

Thanks Lorraine I'm just hoping it works.It's my hardest pills to take.It a big gag 2x a day.LOL but i keep trying till I get it down. Thanks again. Deb

Ddeb...Can you open it up and sprinkle it on something like applesauce or pudding? I was told to do that until i was able to swallow pills.... kristy

Thanks Kristy I'll try that.I had ask the pharasist.All they said is its bitter.But will try on applesauce.I have some apple strawberry. Thanks again Deb

I take ursodiol and so far have had no problems with my gallbladder. I will have to take it for 6 months ( I believe )I take it twice a day. i also take cimetidine to help prevent ulsers.

Hi Deb, I had surgery Sept 21 and I have to take Actigal for 6 months also. I stil have my gall bladder

Im taking it! I started it a week after my surgery and the doctor said I'd be on it 4 to 6 months to make sure I can keep my gallbladder. One pill in the morning, one pill at night... PEACHY! LOL But a small price to pay to keep my gallbladder! Jax

HI DEB, I ALSO TAKE URSODIOL 2X A DAY. CAPSULES,(OPENED AND POURED ON TONGUE). I WILL TAKE IT FOR 6 MONTHS ALSO. BEST WISHES, CARMELLA

Hi Carmella Dose it have a bitter taste?Will have to try this Tonight. Thanks. Deb
