Frequently asked questions
Can Terborax 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terborax 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Your doctor may prescribe a liver function test to assess the effectiveness of your liver. This test helps determine if your liver is functioning properly because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes. If liver function is impaired, the medication may build up in the blood leading to increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Also, disclose all medications you are taking as potential interactions with other drugs can lead to liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests and adjust the dosage accordingly.
