A member asked:

Which type of medication is prescribed for liver problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numerous: It would depend on the symptoms. Antiviral medicine may be used to treat infection (hepatitis b or c). If cirrhosis and liver failure are present, there are many other medicines used to treat the symptoms of fluid overload, confusion (encephalopathy), risk of infection. Etc.
