Hi welcome to HealthcareMagic
The above treatment taken for the cirrhosis of liver is right...
you need to improve in giving protein rich diet, the ascitis and swelling of the leg is due to protein imbalance in the body due to failure in the Liver function... the above treatment will only prevent the further damage to the liver... alcohol consumption must be completely stopped... other Hepato toxic drugs must be avoided...
Take care...
