Do you meen the Ursodeoxycholic Acid if so then i was not given them but maybe because i've had my gall bladder removed.

I was also told the Lasoprazole are to stop ulcers forming on the pouch i was on 2 a day but had my check up last Wednesday and they told me to drop to 1.

 

[AngelEyezHoney]

Yh the Lansoprazole are to reduce the acid your stomach makes (used to heal ulcers too)
