Oral administration of Terbipower 250mg Tablet is not recommended in individuals with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test may be ordered to assess the liver's effectiveness. This assessment is critical because the medication undergoes metabolic processing by liver enzymes. Inefficient liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, potentially resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose all medications currently being taken to ensure safe co-administration as interactions with other drugs may trigger liver toxicity, and Terbipower 250mg Tablet's action on liver enzymes might alter the levels of other pharmaceuticals. Your healthcare provider may suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) for liver function and adjust the dosage accordingly.
Does Terbipower 250mg Tablet cause any skin reactions?
There have been reports of skin reactions in some individuals while using Terbipower 250mg Tablet.
