Oral intake of Terzit 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. A liver function test may be prescribed to assess the liver's proper functioning. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes, and any inefficiency in liver function can lead to increased levels of the medication in the blood, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial to inform your doctor if you have any liver disease or cirrhosis. Also, communicate any other medications you are taking as mixing them with Terzit 250mg Tablet could potentially lead to liver toxicity, and the medication itself may alter levels of other drugs. Your doctor may suggest periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) for liver function and make dose adjustments accordingly.
