Get a baseline a liver function test done, then some periodic tests. This should all but eliminate the risk of liver damage. I believe that you only need to monitor it during the beginning of treatment, as well, but don't quote me on that. Liver function tests are a small price to pay for a good drug effect.

If this risk really were the scare people were making it out to be, it would either be off the market or its black box warning would look more like Tasmar's. Check that out:

The fact that Serzone's warning doesn't even forbid its use as a first-line therapy is telling.
