This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes and impaired liver function can lead to increased drug levels in the blood, potentially causing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, informing your doctor about any existing liver disease or cirrhosis is crucial. Additionally, disclosing information about other medications you are taking to your doctor is essential as this may increase the risk of liver toxicity and Terbion 250mg Tablet's interaction with other drugs can impact liver enzyme levels.
