UDCA Any good?
ad
Hi,
I've just realized that in my country UDCA pharma grade is fairly avalaible (and unexpensive) without a prescription. So I'm picking some just to be in the safe side when I go on harsh orals.
Do you have any idea, or better, any experiencie about dosage? The directions are taking around 10 mg/kg body weight, but that's obviously a dosage for treating an existent disease.
This med is for dissolving cholesterol stones, so maybe that dose would be too much for liver protection.
Any opinion?

1 pill 2-3 times a week.
Thankyou for your answer, but that's about 11 mg/kg. That is a therapeutic dose, when you have a preexisting cholestasis, not for prevention of the steroids-related hepatoxicity.
What I don't know is if you can go, say, 5 mg/kg or even less for our purpose.
I use 150mg strength 2 times a week. Blood test several times after a short or long cycle with orals showed normal liver enzymes.
Oh sorry. I didn't read your post well. I thought you say 2-3 pills A DAY.
My bad...
