Can Terskora Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Terskora Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. It is crucial to have a liver function test performed to assess the liver's effectiveness before starting treatment. This is due to the medication being metabolized by liver enzymes, and any dysfunction can lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, increasing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is critical to inform your healthcare provider if you have any liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, notify them about all other medications you are taking as they may interact with Terskora Tablet, potentially causing liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) through a liver function test and adjust the dosage accordingly.
