There was a small study about losartan reversing liver fibrosis. It is a blood pressure med. I will try  to find the study and post it, or search for it on.the forum.

All drugs are processed by the liver to some degree. No way to get around that.

What drugs to take? It depends on how damaged your liver is as to what drugs are appropriate. If you have little liver damage you can take anything you want as any other person can. Only if you have advanced fibrosis should you be concerned about the choice of meds.

I dont know about blood pressure but I took Paxill while on treatment as my antidepressent.

I would definitely ask your doctor to double check when they give you the meds though - sometimes they make the dumbest mistakes you can imagine if they aren't a hep doc and dont know better.
