I'm a bit concerned about taking Psorid 50 mg because I recently had gallbladder stones detected and removed, and now they've found HCV, though my RNA quantification came back negative. Could this medication affect my liver in any way?

Immediately stop breastfeeding for 24-48 hours to avoid passing the medication to your baby. Pump and discard breast milk during this period. Consult your doctor or a lactation consultant for guidance. Monitor your baby for any adverse reactions. Resume breastfeeding after the recommended time

Can the liver repair itself?

Liver can regenerate by itself. It means that even if a person donates half a liver, it will grow back to normal size within few months. Liver is very resilinet and can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse (drinking too much) over many years can reduce its ability to regenerate.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with some serious liver issues after starting my TB treatment. It all began with a fever right from the first dose, and even though I stopped the medication 12 days ago, the fever hasn't gone away. I'm worried about hepatotoxicity and what this means for my treatment. Do I really need to stop the TB meds completely? And if my liver's already damaged, how do I go about healing it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

yes you should stop that particular drug. If you stop the drug ,your liver will automatically get cured

I'm worried because my SGPT levels are high and I've been taking medication like Cirrosam 400, Obeticholic acid, Ursocol 300, and Evion for the past two months. The only one that seems to help is the Obeticholic acid. Interestingly, my lipid profile is normal and I've tested negative for Hepatitis B and C. My blood sugar levels are also within the normal range. On top of this, I've been dealing with hyperuricemia. Can you tell me how long it might take for my SGPT levels to get back to normal?
