Consumer:

Severe hepatic injury, including hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, cases of hepatic failure and asymptomatic transient increases in the concentrations of serum transaminases, have been reported in patients treated with beta interferons. In some cases, these events have occurred in the presence of other drugs that have been associated with hepatic injury. The potential risk of these agents used in combination with known hepatotoxic drugs or other products (e.g., alcohol) should be considered before starting therapy, or before starting hepatotoxic drugs. Patients should be monitored for signs of hepatic injury, including the regular monitoring of liver function tests, and discontinuation of therapy should be considered if serum transaminase levels significantly increase or if hepatic injury occurs.
