No: Hydroxyzine may have some drowsiness effect which you may look out for.

Question 3

do hydroxyzine have any effect on a fatty liver ?

Accepted Answer

No: This is not a known side effect although the older antihistamines may increase appetite leading to weight gain. You will have to get very obese to end up with a fatty liver in this manner.

No: Don't exceed the maximum recommended dosage though.

Question 5

is avapro or losartan safer in moderate liver disease ?

Accepted Answer

: They can cause acute self limiting liver failure in a small % of cases. Your doc knowing your history will prescribe the safest thing for you. Good luck

Question 6

is it safe to take supplements like garlic, coq 10, & liver detox supplements while taking losartan, bystolic, (nebivolol) & metformin?

Accepted Answer

Caution: I like to typically air on the side of caution when it comes to supplements because a lot of them do interact with many medications. I would take your supplements to your doctor and go over them separately to determine if they are safe.

Question 7

elevated liver enzymes of unknown cause. alt at 119. ast 70. ggt 95. all else normal. is it safe to take losartan and amlodipine for bp control?

Accepted Answer

: You say unknown etiology so NAFLD has been ruled out. You can take both losartan and amlodipine with abnormal liver enzymes. Make sure you are referred to a liver specialist for those abnormal results if you have not seen any specialist yet. Good luck.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: With that medical history and current medication list, it is prudent to have routine blood test 2-3 times a year and see your doctor at least twice a year.

Question 9

can these meds cause ^ liver enzyme? synthroid losartan prednisone paxil (paroxetine) xanax calcitriol calcium citrate amox-clav singulair advair, and multivit

Accepted Answer

Liver Damage: I would believe it is alcohol first and the vitamins and supplements second.

Question 10

does antihistamine hdroxyzine harm the liver?

Accepted Answer

No: While Hydroxyzine is metabolized by the liver, it's use does not harm the liver.  If the individual has liver damage such as hepatitis, then the Hydroxyzine may not be metabolized as it should be and side effects such as sedation may be increased.
