This test helps determine if the liver is functioning properly. The medication undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes, and impaired liver function may lead to increased drug levels in the bloodstream. Consequently, it's crucial to inform your doctor of any pre-existing liver conditions or history. Additionally, notify your doctor about all medications you are currently taking to prevent potential interactions. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) to assess liver function and make adjustments to the dosage as needed.
