Examples include certain penicillins, macrolides, and other antibiotic classes.
Most people take antibiotics without liver problems, but risk can vary depending on:
The specific drug
Dose
Treatment duration
Age
Other medications
Existing liver disease
Contact a clinician if new jaundice, dark urine, severe itching, or marked fatigue develops during or after antibiotic treatment.
- Statins
Statins are widely used to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk.
They can sometimes raise liver enzymes, although serious liver injury is rare.
Routine monitoring practices vary, but doctors may check liver
tests before treatment
