My nephew, 40 years old has schizophrenia since 1986. He has been confined in an institution and taking maintenance drugs. Five years ago he became yellowish and was treated in a hospital. The reason given for his ailment was his liver is affected by the drugs he is taking. This morning I was told he is again becoming yellowish and is being referred to an internist specializing in liver diseases. What is the effect of schizophrenic drugs to the liver. Is there a possibility that the liver gets damaged? How can it be prevented? Thank you.

Hello elcee,
I am sorry to hear your nephew is having health problems.
While I can answer 95 percent of the questioned asked here, the type of question you ask is best answered by a doctor or a competent pharmacist.
Respectfully,
