Can Terbact 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terbact 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease.

This is because the medicine metabolizes via liver enzymes and any inefficiency in liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. It is crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver disease or cirrhosis. Also, notify your doctor of all other medications you are taking as there may be interactions that could affect liver health and result in increased side effects.
