Frequently asked questions
Can T-Fine 250 Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of T-Fine 250 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active hepatic disease. Consult your doctor regarding a liver function test to assess the effectiveness of liver function before starting treatment. This is necessary because the medication undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes, and any liver dysfunction can lead to elevated drug levels in the bloodstream, increasing potential side effects and toxicity. Therefore, inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, mention all medications you are currently taking as some interactions may increase liver toxicity and T-Fine 250 Tablet's effect on liver enzymes can alter medication levels. Your doctor might suggest periodic monitoring (every 4-6 weeks after treatment initiation) with liver function tests to adjust the dosage if necessary.

Is T-Fine 250 Tablet effective?
T-Fine 250 Tablet has proven effectiveness as an anti fungal medication when used at prescribed doses and durations by your physician.
