Hello. Intacept (Eranercept) is a biological DMARD. Its side effects include immunosuppression, which means your body has any underlying infection, it may increase in severity. If your husband have any underlying viral hepatitis or tuberculosis, then intacept may be harmful for him. But if his liver cirrhosis is not due to any viral etiology, then there is not harm in giving inj intacept to him.
