Hello,
Levothyroxine if taken in the correct dose often have little or no side effects.
There is no evidence to suggest if Levothyroxine or Tirosint would cause cirrhosis.
There is nothing to say that thyroxin should not be given to patients with hep B infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
