What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Liv 52 Ds Tablets

I am alcoholic and consume 500 ml daily for the last 1-1/2 years (though I was consuming 180 ml for the last 10 years). Last year in June I was diagnosed liver swelling for which I took medicine for two weeks and it was controlled. I have been taking liv 52 ds 2 tablets daily in the morning. Now I have very light itching problem on the upper and left and right side of the abdomen and also having problem of frequent stooling (5-6 times in a day especially after smoking). Please advice

Hi,

Frequent stools and even the itching may be alcohol related. The first thing that you must do is to be in regular touch with a doctor who monitors the functioning of your liver by doing blood tests and ultrasonography periodically. Just taking Liv 52 tablets while continuing to drink will not ensure that your liver stays healthy. Any advice regarding your current problems will depend on the reports of your blood tests for liver function.

Best wishes.
