Care and mobility considerations

People who recover fully once the liver toxic drug is withdrawn are unlikely to have any long-term functional limitations. Recovery usually occurs within months although sometimes it can take up to two years.

Although people may complain of fatigue and general malaise during this time, these symptoms are unlikely to be so disabling that help is needed with personal care or walking is significantly restricted.

If evidence shows that the customer has liver failure, which may have resulted from drug - induced liver disease then go to Liver Failure guidance.

If evidence shows that the customer has cirrhosis, which may have resulted from drug - induced liver disease then go to Cirrhosis guidance.
