Taking Gylenia. When Stopped It Due To Elevated Liver Enzymes & Suffered A Serious Attack. Now Enzymes Are Up. Stop Taking The Drug?
I have MS.I am currently taking Gylenia and last year had to stop taking the drug because of elevated liver enzymes.Shortly after this I suffered a serious attack and was hospitalised for three weeks. I went back on Gylenia, and I have tolerated the drug well. My liver enzymes are on the up again.I don't want to stop taking the drug if I can possibly help it.What do you think? Ian.

Hi and welcome to HCM.
You and your doctor must evaluate cost-benefit of continuing Gylenia. You can switch to some other similar drug or just frequently check your liver enzymes and liver ultrasounds. Also follow some hepatoprotective diet and take hepatoprtotective medicines. Gylenia can also be reduced gradually and you should try with that next time.
Wish you good health.
