Precautions

These are supportive preparations, not a treatment for the cause of liver disease. Fatty liver responds mainly to weight reduction, control of blood sugar and stopping alcohol, and viral hepatitis needs specific antiviral treatment. Liver blood tests and a proper diagnosis come first. Report yellowing of the eyes, dark urine, swelling of the abdomen or confusion.
