Guidelines?

[gladImhere]

Hello,

Are there any guidelines as to how often liver function tests should be performed on a person who is diabetic, has high blood pressure,
and is being treated for chronic pain with Percoset 5/325 - 2 pills five times daily and Methadone 10 - 6 pills 3 times daily?

My husband has been on these pain meds since 1993. I am concerned
about his.

Thanks

Hi. Here's a link about liver function tests in diabetic patients: http://clinical.diabetesjournals.org/content/23/3/115.full
Perhaps you should talk to your husband's doctor regarding about your concerns regarding the possible long-term effects of drug therapy.
