FAQs on Terbinex Tablet

Patients with chronic or active liver disease should not take Terbinex Tablet orally. Your doctor may order liver function tests to assess liver health, as Terbinex is metabolized by the liver. Poor liver function can increase blood levels of Terbinex, causing heightened side effects and toxicity. Disclose any liver conditions, including cirrhosis, and all other medications you are taking to your doctor, as Terbinex can interact with other drugs, potentially causing liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend regular liver function tests (after 4-6 weeks) and adjust your dose as needed.
