Hello,
I understand your concern. An absolute contraindication for this drug is pregnancy and lactation. For other people taking it, the most common side effects are itchy, dry and red skin, nausea and dizziness and sometimes vision and mood changes. There are no known adverse effects concerning the liver.
If these side effects persist and or worsen, please see a doctor as soon as possible.
I hope this answers your question.
Wishing you good health.
