Best answer:

Answer by abijann
I’m sorry, but all liver patients are told not to take any
medications that have not been approved by or
prescribed by their doctors.
(this includes over the counter drugs, herbs, vitamins,
minerals, supplements, and any other drugs)

This is what happens in liver disease:
The liver cells become damaged, the immune system
of the body respond to this and cause inflammation
inside the liver which causes the liver to enlarge in
size and take on a spongy texture. If a patient
is diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver…this
means the liver cells are dying off and forming
scar tissue inside the liver. This cannot be
reversed. The scar tissue starts to block the
flow of blood through the liver and to the liver
cells that are left and they continue to die off and
form more scar tissue.    Read more...
