Seniors, kidney disease patients, and high blood pressure all carry a higher risk of kidney damage with this med. Men, that means if any of these apply to you, you've got to discuss the risks of this drug with your doc first! Creatine supplements carry this risk too.

Yes, it's because doing so means you've got a much, much higher risk of kidney or liver damage. Much higher!

You'll see more than just liver damage as a risk on this med when you've got liver disease, men. Yes. When you're liver isn't working as well, your body metabolizes this drug a lot slower. This means the drug builds in your liver and the rest of your body. It can build to dangerous levels, men! Obviously, you have to avoid this med if you've got an active infection too.
