Can Oriterb 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Oriterb 250mg Tablet is not recommended in individuals with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test should be performed to evaluate liver function before initiating treatment. This is due to the medication's metabolization by liver enzymes. Inefficiency in liver function can lead to increased medication levels in the blood, potentially increasing side effects and toxicity. It is essential to inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or diseases, including cirrhosis. Additionally, it is crucial to disclose all medications you are currently taking as interactions with other medications can occur. Your doctor may prescribe periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) to evaluate liver function and adjust the dosage accordingly.
