I see half the meds I took during tx on Janis's list, yet 4 months post tx I remain UND. I think you needn't freak out when a drug you must have is listed. Talk to your doctor and use good sense. Sometimes you'll be sicker without your necessary prescriptions. I used Wellbutrin, atenolol, and daily steroid inhalers for asthma plus cortisone skin cream without ill effects.
alagirl,
With each medication you should receive an info sleeve that lists sides and contraindications of that med. You should also google each one. As stacy has posted, Janice is very good site. Make sure you're being tx by a Hepatologist or a very good Gastroenterologist.
Stacy,
ESLD=End Stage Liver Disease. Acute is generaly your first 6 months of being infected. By then, either your own immune system clears the virus or it then goes into chronic stage.
does ESLD mean early stage liver disease? and how does one know if your in the acute stage or chronic stage? I also take Lexapro and Xanax when needed.
Welbutrin is a known liver toxin.
the only ones i can help you on is lexapro and xanax.
if you are not in late stage fibrosis or ESLD, if you need to take something you'll probably be able to.
HOWEVER, I have no knowledge of Topa, Micardis, Adderall, hydrocodone, relpax, phenergan, SO GRAINT OF SALT. all of those worry me a little bit for liver toxicity esp. if you are in acute hep c right now.
Here's a great link that tells you all the medications that damage your liver. Hope this helps.
