    been known to cause false HepC tests results, liver failure, and other ailments. Used to treat sinus infections.

    Anybody know anything else about this? Will the symptoms reverse themselves?

    I had heard about the liver damage the other day on the news. I've taken it a few times for sinus infections, but never had any trouble with it.

    Found that out on a lawsuit page after hearing about it on NPR. Someone I know took it for a sinus condition. Last doc's visit said that he wasn't sure the HepC results given over a year ago were correct or not at this point. So....whenever he gets off his butt and gets to a new doc, guess he'll know for sure. The old doc just wants to continue running blood/liver numbers to see if anything changes since he doesnt know what's causing this shit.
