Who should avoid taking Epsolin?
You should not take Epsolin if you have liver disease, especially if you have a history of developing a liver problem due to Epsolin. Also, patients taking Delavirdine (a medicine used in the treatment of HIV infection) should not take Epsolin. Epsolin may reduce the effectiveness of Delavirdine on HIV and the virus may also become resistant to Delavirdine. It is advised that you inform your doctor if you have any existing heart disorder before you receive Epsolin.
Does Epsolin affect birth control?
