Oral intake of Terbiwon 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before starting the medication, a liver function test should be conducted to assess liver functionality. This is crucial as the medicine undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes. If the liver isn't functioning properly, it can lead to elevated medication levels (resulting in increased side effects and toxicity). Therefore, inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. It is also vital to disclose all other medications you might be taking, as this combination could potentially lead to liver toxicity. Your doctor may suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) through a liver function test to adjust the dosage accordingly.
