Every medicine that you consume , and if it gets absorbed, it will have toxicity either on  Liver or Kidney or both. Every medicine is metabolised in the Liver and excreted by the Kidneys. So we can take our precautions but don't expect any super safe medicine.

CLD is a condition where you have to be extra careful and not take anything that can cause hepatotoxicity. Avoid self medication and consult your Gastroenterologist for further management and guidance regarding safe medicines
