Good morning Rugby50,

May I suggest if you have been prescribed medication , you consider taking it. If you are unsure about it, please contact your GP to discuss.

I have included links to British Liver Trust information on cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy, which may explain things better for you.

You can also call the nurse led helpline on 0800 652 7330 Mon-Fri 10am -3pm

Take care,
