Hi Steve, which medication are you taking? I don't see any warnings on the bisphosphonates (Boniva, Actonel, Fosamax, or Reclast) that relate to the liver. It's best to check with your Dr. or Pharmacist and ask if any of these meds could be detrimental to the liver.
Here's an article from our expert Dr. Gonter on the differences between the bisphosphonates and why one might choose one over the other.
Good luck finding out...
