Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
What was your ultrasound report? Up to how much extent, your liver is damaged?
Liver is affected by alcohol in 4 stages: 1) fatty liver 2) alcoholic hepatits 3) cirrhosis 4) cancer
Up to 2nd stage, abstinence of alcohol may revert your liver damage but once cirrhosis has been started then there is no role regarding stopping alcohol.
So if you have still great percentage of better functioning liver, then if you stop alcohol and whether take livfit or not, your condition will improve.
Liver is the organ on which no body make any commands.
You have to give time to liver for recovery.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

Hi,
Welcome to HealthCareMagic,
You haven't mentioned any of your report. Without details of reports it is not possible to guide you properly.
Alcohol can cause Cirrhosis of liver. Stage of disease can be known through reports.
Livfit is manufactured by Alembic, but it is an Ayurvedic medicine. It is supposed to be cholagogues cholelitholytic and and hepatic protector medicine.
If you are suffering with Cirrhosis of Liver, you should avoid alcohol completely, and consult a Physician, and start treatment under his supervision.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
With good wishes,
Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma
