    Hi Cindy
    I was reading your post:

    <<TAPAZOLE–CAN I TAKE IT FOR A LONG PERIOD WITHOUT HARM? Side effects are possible anytime on Tapazole. Liver function should be monitored.>>

    I have some questions. How is the liver monitored? Does the endo include this test in the regular checkups? Is liver damage common because of long-term tapazole use? Usually how long are people on it when they get liver damage? Thanks.

    Hi Patience,
    One should not be on ptu(tapazole) for more than 2 years. I just spoke with a woman on the phone yesterday who developed liver disease from long term use of these drugs! The doctor can run a liver function test to determine if your liver enzymes are outta whack.
    Hope this helps.
    Ps. are you using mirc to get into chat?

    Hugs,
    JAN
