Hi and thanks for the query,

Hepatitis C very also has serious adverse effects on the liver. It is NOT advisable to use substances that have negative consequences or effects on the liver again alcohol, drugs not prescribed by your doctor. I decision, strong decision from within to suspend drugs or alcohol is determinant in the withdrawal course. It could be important to consider this a priority for yourself and actually get off the drugs. A gastroenterologist/hepatologist for sure should be following you up with regards to the hepatitis C infection and recommended specific medications of lifestyle changes. Believe in yourself that you can quit drugs, and you really can, and get going from within. Your family care physician could be very helpful in accompanying you in this process. Thanks and kind regards.
