Frequently asked questions
Can Terbinacare 250mg Tablet be used safely by patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terbinacare 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test should be performed to assess the liver's effectiveness. This is because the medicine metabolizes through liver enzymes, and any impairment in liver function could lead to elevated drug levels, potentially causing increased side effects and toxicity. It is crucial for patients with liver disease to inform their doctor about any existing medications they are taking as interactions with other drugs may contribute to liver toxicity. The doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests and adjust the dosage accordingly.
