Can you tell me more about the substances that can cause liver damage?

According to Healthline, taking unapproved herbal supplements or supplements containing aloe vera can lead to liver-related diseases.

Be wary of taking any drugs, including herbal ones, just because you read that they are “natural.”

The inclusion of alcohol on this list may come as a surprise to some. The liver is particularly vulnerable to damage or failure from excessive alcohol consumption because it is the site of cell and tissue death.

Thirdly, the liver can be damaged by overuse or improper use of pain relievers like acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and many others. The liver can be severely damaged by these drugs if nothing is done to stop the damage. Be cautious when taking these over-the-counter pain relievers.

Several common medications, including statins, antibiotics like amoxicillin and erythromycin, antifungal drugs, and HIV antiviral drugs, can cause liver damage if taken carelessly, that is, without first consulting a medical professional.
