If liver impairment exists, increased Terbinone levels in the blood could result from impaired drug metabolizing enzymes and lead to adverse effects such as toxicity. It's crucial for patients with liver disease or cirrhosis to inform their healthcare provider of any relevant medications before starting treatment. Additionally, a thorough review of other medications should be conducted to avoid potential interactions that may affect liver function.
