Can you take Livdelzi (seladelpar) for PBC?
Yes, Livdelzi (seladelpar) is an FDA-approved medication for treating PBC in adults. It's designed for people who haven't found relief from ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or who can't tolerate UDCA.
Livdelzi can be taken in combination with UDCA or by itself. It's taken once daily as a pill, with or without food.
However, there's an important timing consideration: you need to take Livdelzi four hours before or after bile acid sequestrants (medicines that help lower cholesterol and remove bile acids), as these can interfere with its absorption.
Livdelzi shouldn't be used if you have decompensated cirrhosis, which is a more advanced form of liver damage with complications.
Common side effects include:
* Bloating
* Feeling full
* Headache
* Nausea
Your healthcare provider can determine if Livdelzi is right for your specific situation based on your health history and current treatment response.
