Can you please suggest if I should take this tablet or not since there is no abnormalty in my blood reports? Is it safe to take this madicine as compare to Milk Thistle? Thanks in advance.. Somesh
Hello, Malayan, Mild fatty liver may be associated with over weight problem. Losing weight to near ideal weight would be helpful. I am very glad that all your liver tests were normal along with the lipids. Occasionally, there may be an over diagnosis of this condition by someone studying the sonogram or maybe some technical error. In any case, You don't seem to have serious problem. Stay away from things that can damage the liver, like alcohol, NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Naproxen etc.) and evenAcetaminophen in excess. Some sulfa Chat Doctor.
