Hello. First of all gallstone desolution using bile acids is not a recomended treatment. Its only used in patients who are not fit for surgery. Second your stone is too big to be dissolved using these drugs. Third these drugs are to be taken for years together and have lots of side effects. I would suggest laparoscopic cholecystectomy for you which is a very good procedure and low risk procedure under expert hands. Still if you want to know the dose its urso. 150 mg twice a day. Regards.

Hi, gallstones are very common in females above forty. Most of them are symptomatic asymptomatic stones shud b removed by surgery to avoid complications later on dissolving stones is not at all a good idea. The results r poor and not recommended. Also only cholesterol stones dissolve with medicines. Unfortunately most of the gallstones are mixed type.
