What are the potential hepatic side effects of amoxicillin and how should liver function be monitored in patients with pre-existing conditions?
1. Amoxicillin can cause liver issues like hepatitis and jaundice. Monitor liver function tests regularly in at-risk patients.
2. Hepatic side effects of amoxicillin include transient increases in liver enzymes. Patients with liver conditions should have frequent liver function assessments.
3. Amoxicillin might elevate liver enzymes and cause cholestatic jaundice. Monitor ALT, AST levels in patients with hepatic impairment.
