Introduction
Patients who have abnormal liver function indicators, underlying liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or a history of drug-induced liver injury should use hepatoprotective agents in combination with Rifampicin and Isoniazid Tablets only under medical supervision. Rifampicin and Isoniazid Tablets may cause hepatic irritation; concomitant use of hepatoprotective agents can help reduce liver damage, maintain stable liver function, and lower the risk associated with medication.
Generally, individuals taking Yifoping who have abnormal liver function or are at risk of liver injury may take hepatoprotective tablets concurrently, while those with normal liver function and no risk factors may not need combination therapy for now. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a doctor in advance. The detailed analysis is as follows:
If patients taking Yifoping already have abnormal liver function tests, underlying liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or a history of drug-induced liver injury, they should use hepatoprotective tablets in combination under medical supervision. Yifoping may cause hepatic irritation; hepatoprotective tablets can help reduce liver damage, maintain stable liver function, and lower the risks associated with medication.
If patients taking Yifoping have normal liver function test results, no pre-existing liver conditions, and a low assessed risk of liver injury prior to treatment, combination with hepatoprotective tablets may not be necessary temporarily. Blindly taking multiple medications may increase bodily burden. Regular monitoring of liver function is sufficient, and hepatoprotective tablets can be added later according to medical advice if abnormalities appear.
Regular liver function tests are required during Yifoping treatment; the decision to combine with hepatoprotective tablets should never be made independently. If symptoms such as fatigue or jaundice occur, seek immediate medical attention to ensure safe medication use.
