NEW DELHI: Alternative and herbal medicines may not always be without side-effects.

Doctors say unmonitored use of such medication, as also long-term drugs for ailments such as TB and body-building protein supplements, may lead to liver failure even among patients with no history of liver disease.

Take the case of Rashmi Khare (name changed). The 27-year-old Delhi girl was admitted to Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) with acute liver failure resulting in internal bleeding and fatigue. She had been on medication for TB for a long time but the drug’s effect on the liver was not monitored.

“She is being managed well with plasma exchange therapy. But the need for a transplant in future cannot be ruled out,” said Dr S K Sarin, director, ILBS.

Dr Sarin added that he gets one to two cases of drug-induced liver failure every week. “Alternative medicines or herbal drugs are the most common culprits followed by anti-tubercular medications, body-building protein supplements, painkillers and antibiotics,” he said.
