Great price for a great medicine.
From UndisclosedComments about Ursodiol (Generic) 250mg TabletMy vet recommended this product for my aging furbaby. He has just turned 14 and now has liver problems. This is actually the generic version but seems to be working great and is much more affordable than the name brand. So glad I found it here. This site was also the best value as well. -

I have a cat with lymphoma of the intestines who is on Prednisone and Ursodiol for liver condition. He is now vomiting white bubbly mucous. Is this a reaction to both drugs??
-
Joe, Veterinary drug references indicate that ursodiol appears to be well tolerated in dogs and cats, with diarrhea listed as a potential side effect. Prednisone could cause increased thirst, increased appetite, increased urination, vomiting, diarrhea and behavioral changes as common listed side effects in your pet. The combination of ursodiol and prednisone is not a listed drug interaction, meaning administration together appears to be okay. It is not recommended to discontinue prednisone therapy abruptly without consulting your pet's veterinarian. Your veterinarian should also be informed if this side effect continues or becomes worse. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My cat presently takes 1/4 tablet of 250mg of Ursodiol. Can this pill be cut with a pill cutter or is it in a casing??
-
Jill, The Ursodiol 250mg tablet is not scored and it is film coated. The manufacturer also makes a 500mg tablet which is film coated and scored, so theoretically it is possible to split pills. We tried quartering the tablets with our pill splitter and found out that while it was possible, there is a high chance of variable sizes (doses) of the 'quarters' and we doubt success with every cut. Have you or your cat's veterinarian considered compounded capsules of Ursodiol? We have a 60mg capsule available. Hope this information is helpful, VetRxDirect
