So, I've noticed my face is getting darker or turning black, and I'm kind of worried. I've been diagnosed with PBC and have been on medication for liver function and taking vitamin tablets for about a month now. Could this change in my skin color be related to the meds or my liver issue? What might be causing this?

Darkening of your face could be related to changes in liver function due to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), as it can affect skin pigmentation. Medications or vitamin imbalances might also play a role. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to adjust your treatment if needed.

I've been on this liver medication routine for a bit now and I'm just a bit worried. My sgpt was 125 and my sgot 85 when I got tested. I've been told to take golbi 300mg twice daily and evion 400mg once a day for six months. Now that I've hit the two-month mark, I'm wondering if it's really okay to keep taking evion for this long. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Yes you can take it no problem.
