This is because the drug undergoes metabolism by hepatic enzymes, and impaired liver function could lead to elevated drug levels in the bloodstream, resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider about any history of liver disease or cirrhosis prior to starting Trubina 250mg Tablet. Additionally, notify your doctor of all other medications you are currently taking to prevent potential drug interactions that may exacerbate liver impairment.
