This test helps assess the effectiveness of the liver as the medication metabolizes through liver enzymes, and dysfunction can lead to elevated drug levels resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Please inform your doctor about any existing liver conditions, including cirrhosis, along with a list of all other medications being taken. Periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests may be necessary to assess treatment efficacy and make adjustments to the dosage if needed.
