This test helps determine if any medication levels are elevated due to insufficient liver function, which can result in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is important to disclose any pre-existing liver conditions or active medications to your doctor. Regular monitoring of liver function (every 4-6 weeks) and dose adjustments may be needed based on the physician's assessment.
