Can Terbix 500mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbix 500mg Tablet is not recommended for individuals with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test might be conducted to assess the effectiveness of your liver. This assessment is important because Terbix 500mg Tablet undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes, and an impaired liver function may lead to increased drug levels in the bloodstream. This can result in intensified side effects and potential toxicity. Before starting Terbix 500mg Tablet, inform your doctor of any liver disease or cirrhosis you might have and disclose all other medications you are taking. Your physician may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks) of liver function tests and adjust the dosage as needed to address any potential risks.
