I feel better taking this med. It is small and easy to swallow. I have polycystic kidneys. They are only working at seven percent. At the present time this med is very expensive.

Hectorol was very easy to take and affordable. I'm doing great now that is why my doctors have taken me off of it. I no longer need the medicine because i received my New Kidney 2/4/09. I'm doing great.
