(Newest replies first)

Updated

I read you should not be taking this if you have Hep B. What are the reason? I was prescribe this drug but my doctor did not inform me about not taking it if one has Hep B! Thank you so much.

Yes, it is listed as being contraindicated in anyone that has a severe disease that affects their liver, such as Hepatitis B. This is because it is processed through the liver, plus it can increase liver enzymes, both of which could be detrimental to your condition.

The safest thing to do would be to contact your doctor and ask them to suggest an alternative medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
