Deranged LFTs, I took Flucloxicillin couple years ago (I have liver problems) and I became deranged, I remember it well. With respect, it is the Specialists in a particular medical field who know about liver problems, the GP only refers the patient.

My advice (and I am not a doctor) is do not take the tablets, explain the side effects to your GP and ask for an alternative for your particular infection, there is always an alternative.

Not what you're looking for?
