Is it unsuitable to take liver-protecting tablets when having excessive liver fire?
Disease description:
A friend said that liver-protecting tablets are only for preventing liver diseases and have no therapeutic effect. Does that mean they're not suitable for people with excessive liver fire?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Dong
Patients with excessive liver fire should not take liver-protecting tablets. The main function of these tablets is to prevent liver damage, strengthen and repair the liver, and provide strong antioxidant protection for liver cell membranes. However, they do not have the effect of reducing excessive liver fire. Moreover, excessive use of liver-protecting tablets may pose certain and indeterminate liver and kidney toxicity, so their use should be approached with caution.
