If you are on iron - after taking a tablet you cannot absorb anymore iron for ~36 hours

Optimal dose =

one tablet

every day
or
every other day

Depending on tolerance & if short / long term treatment.

Higher doses are not absorbed & cause GI side effects.

@BearGrylls Arrogant and tone deaf. You would have been better to say nothing then this terrible post steeped in your cognitive dissonance.

@DonPaulotti I’m sorry this must be awful. Weird rules elsewhere. Can travel to the US with kids as long as you have 3 months.

@ShivaniM_KC That looks delicious Shivani

The changes in STRIDE-III 👏🏼 #UEGWeek

Never seen such a impactful IBD session! #UEGweek

[Charlie Lees @charlie_lees]

Today is packed on the IBD track - one of the most important conference days for IBD I can remember.

You can't see everything unless you clone yourself ** ...

so head to UEG forum for 10am
• VERDICT primary outcome *
• STRIDE-III *
• FUZION 48w *
• ABBV-466
starring Vip, Axel, Ailsa and Remo

* first look at all of these (still under embargo)
** if the cloning worked go to D3 for obefazimod ph3 maintenance data (already in the public domain)

THEN ... 1130am to A2 for the 5y Profile data (or just read the paper @LancetGastroHep ) and 1150am to A1 for IBD nutrition matters

230pm Lessons from large IBD real-world cohorts (A1)

4pm Teaching an old dog new tricks: New implementations of current IBD drugs (A1) including AFFIRM-UC (sc risa induction) and DIRECT-CD (sc ifx induction) and much more.

Oh, there are a bunch of live poster sessions too!

THEN ... come to the @my_ueg night and drink a beer with me.

@charlie_lees Good shout. It has indeed had a huge impact on how we prescribe. Whilst studies like PROFILE are practice changing, only works because of biosimilars. Interested to know what happens in North America as I understand biosimilar use isn’t widespread.
