Hi thanks for asking question.
You are taking meperidine.
As far as gastrointestinal side effect is concerned this drug can lead to vomiting, nausea, acid reflux etc.moreover it increases intrabiliary pressure by contracting sphincter of oddi.
So it can aggravate biliary colic .
But for short term use it directly does not injure liver.
I hope I have solve your query regarding its side effect on liver .
Wish you good health
