Frequently asked questions
Can Infine 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Infine 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test should be performed to assess the liver's ability to metabolize the medication before starting treatment. This is because the medicine is metabolized by liver enzymes and impaired liver function can lead to increased medication levels in the blood, potentially increasing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your doctor about any history of liver disease or cirrhosis and also disclose all other medications you are taking as this could further impact liver health. Your doctor may suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks) of liver function test and adjust the dose if needed.
Does Infine 250mg Tablet cause any skin reactions?
There is a potential for some individuals to experience skin reactions while using Infine 250mg Tablet. Rare cases report severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious allergic reactions. Therefore, do not take this medication without consulting your doctor. If you encounter any type of skin reaction or rash, stop the medication immediately and report to your doctor.
