A member asked:
What is a hepatoactive agent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non-specific term: By definition, any agent that affects the liver could be called hepatoactive. Since all things we eat, drink and many that we breathe and enter through the skin end up in blood that goes through the liver, almost anything could be called hepatoactive. Some agents are hepato-toxic, commonest one being alcohol, and some medications like Tylenol (acetaminophen).
