I was prescribed Urso Forte 500mg tablets to help dissolve my gallstones and it's been a rollercoaster. The medication has definitely helped, but the side effects have been pretty rough. I've had everything from mild stomach issues to some serious constipation. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with this drug. I've also heard it can be useful for liver diseases like PBC, so I'd be curious to hear from anyone taking it for that purpose. Also, has anyone managed to report side effects to the FDA, and if so, how did you do it? Any tips would be appreciated.

I was recently prescribed Ursodiol 300mg Capsules to help dissolve my gallstones and treat my primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). I've been taking them for a few weeks now, and I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication. How long did it take for you to see results? Did you experience any significant side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I've noticed some mild stomach discomfort, but nothing too severe. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
