Liver function tests

Your liver check, done from home

Your first 28 tablets can be prescribed without a liver test. The remaining 140 need a liver function test first. Choose a home kit, or have a phlebotomist come to you.

Results are reviewed by the SMUK clinical team. Once reviewed, your next prescription can be released.
