Can Rootderm 250 Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Rootderm 250 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before starting treatment, your doctor may prescribe a liver function test to assess liver health. This is necessary because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes and impaired liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the bloodstream, potentially increasing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose any other medications you are currently taking as this may increase the risk of liver complications when combined with Rootderm 250 Tablet. Your doctor may suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks) of liver function test and adjust the dose accordingly.
