What precautions are necessary when prescribing azithromycin to patients with liver disease and how should liver function be monitored?
Azithromycin should be used cautiously in liver disease patients. Monitor liver function tests before and during treatment to detect any hepatotoxicity.
In patients with liver impairment, prescribe azithromycin with caution and regularly check liver enzyme levels to gauge liver health.
When prescribing azithromycin to those with liver conditions, assess liver function tests initially and periodically to prevent worsening liver function.
Doctors should be cautious with azithromycin in liver disease cases, ensuring regular liver function assessments to avoid potential drug-induced liver injury.
