Consult your physician to perform a liver function test for assessment of liver health before initiating treatment. This medication metabolizes through the liver, and impaired liver function can lead to increased blood levels of the drug and exacerbate side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's essential to inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or other medications you are currently taking. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) for liver function to adjust dosage as needed.
