Nevirapine present in duovir can cause liver toxicity. Therefore liver function tests are done to monitor it.

The concern regarding Duovir N and its effect on the liver is clinically valid. While it is an effective ARV medication, one of its components, Nevirapine, carries a risk of hepatotoxicity (liver damage). However, side effects do not happen to everyone. They are dose-dependent and vary based on an individual’s pre-existing liver health, alcohol consumption, and overall genetic makeup. Taking it without a confirmed HIV diagnosis (as self-administered PEP) significantly increases the risk-to-benefit ratio, as you may be exposing your liver to potent drugs unnecessarily."
Next Steps
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys and liver process the medication.
Avoid Alcohol: "Strictly avoid alcohol while taking Duovir N, as it significantly increases the stress on your liver and the risk of toxicity."
Not for Self-Medication: "This is not a 'safety pill'. It is a serious medical intervention that should only be taken under the strict supervision of a healthcare professional."
Health Tips
Liver issues from Duovir N are preventable if monitored correctly, but self-medicating is risky.
