Frequently asked questions
Can Anibret 250mg Tablet be used by patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral use of Anibret 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test may be performed to assess liver health before starting treatment. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes and any impaired liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, potentially causing adverse effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial for patients with a history of liver disease or cirrhosis to consult their physician. Additionally, patients should inform their doctor about all medications being taken as concurrent use may further impact liver function. Regular monitoring of liver function (every 4-6 weeks) might be recommended, and dose adjustments could be made accordingly based on the test results.

Some individuals may experience skin reactions while taking Anibret 250mg Tablet.
