Patients with liver disease may experience increased medication levels due to the drug being metabolized by liver enzymes. To avoid adverse effects, it's crucial to inform your doctor about any existing liver conditions or history of liver-related medications. Additionally, disclosing all other prescribed medications is essential as interactions could occur.
