Hello everyone,

I was diagnosed diabetes six months ago. I am also patient with Hepatitis B virus carrier. My physician recommended me Galvus Met 50/1000 mg. Does this medicine has any side-effect on liver? I am now a days feeling a little pain on right side of my abdomen. Your advice in this regard will be highly helpful.
 
Hi

I found this information:

"Hepatic impairment
Galvus should not be used in patients with hepatic impairment, including patients with pre-treatment ALT or AST > 3x ULN.
Liver enzyme monitoring
Rare cases of hepatic dysfunction (including hepatitis) have been reported. In these cases, the patients were generally asymptomatic without clinical sequelae and liver function test results returned to normal after discontinuation of treatment. Liver function tests should be performed prior to the initiation of treatment with Galvus in order to know the patient's baseline value. Liver function should be monitored during treatment with Galvus at three-month intervals during the first year and periodically thereafter. Patients who develop increased transaminase levels should be monitored with a second liver function evaluation to confirm the finding and be followed thereafter with frequent liver function tests until the abnormality(ies) return(s) to normal. Should an increase in AST or ALT of 3x ULN or greater persist, withdrawal of Galvus therapy is recommended.
Patients who develop jaundice or other signs suggestive of liver dysfunction should discontinue Galvus.
Following withdrawal of treatment with Galvus and LFT normalisation, treatment with Galvus should not be reinitiated."

If you are having pain, I would see your physician.

Regards

Doug
 
Its a recoverless virus , when a patient diagnosed diabetes, its effected after diabetes when we careless . and
not giv any attention at this disease. and not use insulin yet just use common tablets,
when diabetes effected then use insulin and not any tablets because the tablets are effected at our liver and also heart.
I have study in a site that Hepatitis B virus is invented after diabetes, when we use anti diabetis tablets.........
