Therefore, it's crucial to inform your doctor about any existing liver conditions or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose all medications you are currently taking as interactions between Binafit 250mg Tablet and other drugs can occur, potentially leading to liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) with liver function tests and dose adjustments as needed.
