THINK: What kind of liver problem? Age of patient? Other meds? Other problems? Reason for prozac (fluoxetine)? All sorts of information missing before you can arrive at a good answer. Submit this to the doctor prescribing the Prozac (fluoxetine) for this patient. This is a simple question, but it may be a complicated problem.
