Frequently asked questions
Can Terbovil 250 Tablet be used by patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Terbovil 250 Tablet is not recommended for individuals with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test should be performed to assess liver health prior to treatment. This test helps determine if the medication's metabolic pathway is functioning effectively. If liver impairment is detected, it can lead to higher medication levels in the bloodstream, potentially increasing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial for patients with a history of liver disease or cirrhosis to communicate this information openly with their doctor. The patient should also inform their physician about any other medications they are currently taking as combinations may result in increased liver toxicity, and Terbovil 250 Tablet may interfere with the levels of other drugs by impacting liver enzyme activity. Regular monitoring (e.g., liver function test every 4-6 weeks) and dosage adjustments may be required based on the patient's individual response.

There have been reports of allergic skin reactions (e.g., rash) occurring in some individuals while using Terbovil 250 Tablet. It is important to note that this medication may trigger severe, life-threatening skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other hypersensitivity responses.
