Dear sir, my father is suffering from liver cirrhosis and he has been prescribed cardivas 3.125 mg twice a day. After having this medicine for 20 days he had swelling in his ankles and legs and he also became senseless for a day (HE ).Now he is ok but can he take cardivas now. Is there any side effects of it because he is also suffering from low protein and albumin (2.1) in his body.
