We are asked many, many questions about the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases in the dog, specifically, those dealing with the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Such diseases are termed pancreatic insufficiency, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and maldigestion syndrome. The pancreas has many glandular functions, some obvious and well known and others that are obscure and not understood at all.
I have been on Uceris almost two weeks now. I was prepared to start azathioprine when Uceris became available so my GI wanted to try it out first. When I started Uceris, my GI had me do a rapid pred taper so that I would only be on both of them for about 5 days. I haven't noticed any improvement on Uceris.
As to how long it lasts, it varies from person to person, but it can be 2 months or even up to 6 months.It will take longer for the body to right itself, the longer you were taking the medication, so you should be ok in a few weeks if you only took it for a couple of weeks.hen I'd collected a prescription for PPI's the doctor told me that if I needed long term medication Ranitidine was now the drug of choice for chronic sufferers due to side effects of PPI's, so I couldn't reconcile that statement with the warning on the OTC packet. Thanks again.
