If it Is necessary to take it you should take especially if your doc see that your liver is starting damaging.
Side effects like all drugs there are but not all patients react towards similarly.
The most known  side effect is observed on kidneys function .test should be done during the treatment to avoid any kidney damage.
Many patients here take it for years and no harm on them.
Good luck and don't forget to drink lot water
