Frequently asked questions
Can Terbisa 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbisa 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before initiating Terbisa 250mg Tablet therapy, a liver function test should be performed to assess the severity and response of liver dysfunction. This is because the drug undergoes metabolic processes by the liver enzymes. If the liver's function is compromised, it may lead to elevated medication levels in the bloodstream, potentially resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, informing your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or current medications is essential to avoid potential interactions that could worsen existing liver complications. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) with a liver function test, and adjust the dosage as needed based on those results.
