This assessment helps assess how well the liver metabolizes the medication. If liver function is impaired, the medication may accumulate in the bloodstream leading to potential side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial for patients with liver cirrhosis to inform their doctor about their condition and any other medications they might be taking to avoid potential complications. Regular monitoring of liver function (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) and dose adjustments based on the results may be necessary.
