Frequently asked questions
Can Terbix 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbix 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test may be required to assess liver health and understand the impact on medication metabolism. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and impaired liver function can lead to elevated medication levels, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose any medications you are currently taking as interactions with other drugs could potentially worsen liver health and increase the risk of toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests to adjust dosage accordingly.
