1. The drug may not work as well as it should.
2. The drug may build up in the body, leading to toxicity.
3. The drug may interact with other medications, causing unexpected side effects.

If you have any liver problems, it is important to tell your doctor before starting any new medication. Your doctor can help you to choose a medication that is safe for you and that will be metabolized effectively by your liver.

Many drugs are removed from the body through the kidneys. This means that if your kidneys are not working properly, the drugs may build up in your body and cause problems. Additionally, some drugs can actually damage the kidneys, so it is important to be aware of this risk if you have kidney problems.

For these reasons, it is advisable to have your kidney function regularly monitored while you are taking any medication. This will help to ensure that the drugs are not causing any harm to your kidneys. If you have any kidney problems, be sure to tell your doctor so that they can adjust your medication dosage or recommend other medications that are less likely to affect your kidneys.
