Problem description: Condition description (time of onset, main symptoms, symptom changes, etc.): My father was diagnosed with cerebral infarction last year. After hospitalization, he has basically returned to normal. But the doctor’s previous prescription was to keep eating. However, there is a medicine that may cause liver and kidney damage to certain people. It is recommended to review the liver and kidney function after taking it for a while.
It is said that if there are side effects, take it for a period of time and stop for a period of time.
Now I can’t remember which medicine it is, so I want to consult, thank you.
