No, I believe she's misunderstanding how the liver issues may be affecting the medication, when she takes it.
It isn't that the liver works as a time release system for any drugs.
What often happens, when someone has some type of liver damage/disease is that it can affect the rate at which a medication is processed through the body, so some may be faster or slower than if the person had a healthy liver and, in some cases, they may absorb more or less of the drug than if they had a healthy liver.
So from that, her statement does make sense, but she doesn't really have a complete understanding of how it works.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Thank You very much I am having a hard time understanding her condition. she take a lot of pain meds so it makes me concerned. she always says her liver hurts a normal person will say my stomach hurts.
