Advicor and Liver Problems: Warnings and Precautions
Because
Advicor can affect the liver, it is used with caution in people who drink more than a moderate amount of alcohol or who have a history of liver disease.
This medication is not recommended for people with liver disease or those with already high liver enzymes before starting treatment.
Possible Symptoms of Liver Problems
Several symptoms can occur in someone who develops liver problems while taking Advicor. You should contact your doctor if you have any of the following problems:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Brown or dark-colored urine
- Skin or the whites of the eyes turn yellow (jaundice)
- Feeling more tired than usual.
Liver problems with Advicor occur rarely, but to keep you as safe as possible, your healthcare provider will routinely check on how your liver is doing by testing your liver enzyme levels. If they are high, your healthcare provider may recommend lowering your dosage or switching medicines.
If you have any additional questions or concerns after reading this article, make sure to talk with your healthcare provider. He or she understands your situation best and is in the best position to give you recommendations.
