Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concerns.
As you also may know, most of all the drugs proceed to a hepatic metabolisation when they are used. The drugs you are using,with the indicated dosage may increase the risk of toxic hepatitis if they are used for long term. In order to prevent this undesirable event, I would advice you to make periodically functional liver tests (LFT), which are a group of blood tests that detect inflammation and damage to the liver. They can also check how well the liver is working. LFT include ALS, AST, GGT, Bilirubin and Albumine level.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health, Dr. Ina Zaimi
