Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

I'm dealing with an alcohol addiction and my liver function is acting up. I'm currently taking Udiliv 150, but sometimes I still end up drinking at night because of the cravings. I'm really concerned if taking Udiliv is safe when I'm also consuming alcohol. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Udiliv 150 contains Ursodeoxycholic acid, which is commonly used to improve liver function. However, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Udiliv as alcohol can further damage the liver and reduce the effectiveness of the medication. It is important to avoid alcohol completely to allow Udiliv to work effectively in improving your liver function.
