Esmya® and liver function tests

  • Liver function tests must be performed before starting treatment. Treatment must not be initiated if transaminases (ALT or AST) exceed 2 × ULN (isolated or in combination with bilirubin >2 × ULN)1
  • During treatment, liver function tests must be performed monthly during the first two treatment courses. For further treatment courses, liver function must be tested once before each new treatment course and when clinically indicated1
  • In addition liver testing should be performed 2–4 weeks after treatment has stopped1
