Hi and welcome to HCM.
Well, these 2 symtpoms are side effects of Heptral. So you and your doctor should decide can you accept that and live with it or you can change therapy. Usually first grade fatty liver is treated with life habits changes and medicines arent even necessary. Some doctors dont prescribe it in the beginning especailly if there is no elevation in lver enzymes..
WIsh I ve been helpful.
