What drugs are used to treat cirrhosis of the liver

Medications used to treat cirrhosis include antiviral medications and liver protection medications such as entecavir, cotrimoxazole, and metoprolol. 1. Antiviral drugs: Entecavir is mainly used for the treatment of cirrhosis caused by viral hepatitis, which can cause gastrointestinal reactions, drowsiness, dizziness and other adverse reactions. 2. Hepatoprotective drugs: for example, intravenous isoglycyrrhetinic acid enzyme can improve liver function abnormality, but it is prone to cause elevated blood pressure, hypokalemia, edema and so on. Oral drugs such as bicyclic alcohol and silymarin can also be taken to protect liver function. 3. Others: For example, metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can treat portal hypertension caused by cirrhosis, which can lead to hypotension, abnormal liver function, and respiratory system abnormalities. For example, turtle shell soft liver pill can assist in softening the liver and even reversing cirrhosis. All of the above drugs are contraindicated for those who are allergic to them and all should be taken in accordance with medical advice. If the patient is diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time, after clarifying the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out targeted treatment.
