This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and impaired liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the bloodstream, potentially causing increased side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose all medications you are taking, as they might interact with Terbiwin 250 Tablet, leading to potential liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) and adjust the dosage accordingly.
