People with liver disease must take special care with medications. The liver processes most drugs, so impaired function can affect how medications are metabolized. This can lead to increased side effects or toxicity. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting new medications or supplements, especially with chronic liver conditions.

Travelers should be aware of liver disease risks, particularly in areas with poor sanitation. Hepatitis A and E are transmitted through contaminated food and water. Vaccination, hand hygiene, and safe food practices are vital for prevention. Those with existing liver disease are especially vulnerable to complications from hepatitis infections.
