Hi,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com

Gilbert's syndrome is a very mild disease and generally causes no symptoms or any long term problems. Liv52 was earlier thought to be a useful drug is not considered very helpful in many recent trials and studies. As the disease you have is very mild and requires no treatment there is not need for taking Liv52 for the problem. I would advise against it.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

Regards
