Rutenberg added that this medication is not for those with liver damage, like cirrhosis, or those with end stage renal disease. “The biggest risk appears to be elevation of liver function tests and so it is recommended to monitor baseline and quarterly liver tests for the first year.” “The results are very promising, both in terms of efficacy and safety,” said Rutenberg. Studies were then extended a year to verify safety. Randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated effectiveness compared to a placebo after 12 weeks of once-daily therapy with Veozah. The clinical trials took measures to ensure the safety of the medication. If a dose is missed, or not taken at the regular time, patients should take it as soon as possible and return to their regular schedule the following day. Veozah is an oral medication that includes one 45 milligram pill per day, taken at the same time each day. ![]()
