This is because the medication undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes, and any impairment in liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, potentially causing increased side effects and toxicity. It is crucial to inform your doctor about any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose all medications you are currently taking as combinations with Revfen 250mg Tablet may lead to liver toxicity. Your doctor may suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks) of liver function test and make dose adjustments accordingly.
