Can Anafine 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?

It's crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or cirrhosis. Additionally, share a list of all medications you take with your healthcare provider as some combinations may cause liver toxicity. Your physician may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) including liver function test, and adjust the dosage accordingly.
