What medication should be taken for alcoholic liver disease?

Patient's question:

I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. I am asking, what medicine should be taken for alcoholic liver disease?

Doctor's answer:

I really like drinking beer. In this case, if alcohol-induced liver disease occurs, upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and timely treatment must be implemented. It is especially important to pay attention to abstinence from alcohol. While abstaining from alcohol, liver function tests should be conducted. Generally, oral liver-protecting drugs are required, which can be taken orally or administered intravenously depending on the condition. Commonly used oral medications include Ursodiol. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
