Frequently asked questions
Can Tergosil 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Tergosil 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A pre-treatment liver function test should be conducted to assess liver function before initiation of therapy. This assessment may help determine whether the medication will metabolize appropriately and prevent potential toxicity. Patients with liver disease can experience increased drug levels due to inefficient liver processing, leading to side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver conditions or medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. If there is a possibility of liver impairment, periodic monitoring of liver function (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) may be necessary for dose adjustments as needed.
