If you have liver disease, it is extremely important to discuss with your doctor all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal medications you are taking. Some medications to be avoided in liver disease include:

• Isoniazid
• Oral contraceptives
• Androgens
• Chlorpromazine - oral
• Chlorpromazine - injectable
• Allopurinol - oral
• Acetaminophen
• Hydralazine - oral
• Halothane
• Alcohol
• Valproic acid
• Phenytoin
• Carbamazepine - oral
• Methotrexate
• 6 - mercaptopurine
• NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen and naproxen

Your health care provider can help investigate the cause of the liver disease and recommend safe medications, including over-the-counter medications, for other problems you may have.
