Frequently asked questions
Can Terjox 500 Tablet be safely used in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terjox 500 Tablet is not recommended for individuals with chronic or active liver disease. Your doctor may prescribe a liver function test to ensure the liver is functioning properly, as the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes. This is crucial because any inefficiency in liver function can lead to increased levels of the medication in the blood, resulting in more severe side effects and toxicity. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing liver disease or cirrhosis, and also disclose any medications you're currently taking, as combining Terjox 500 Tablet with other medications can cause liver toxicity.
