Supplements and Liver Safety: Patient, Caregiver, and Clinician Perspectives on Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Join this informative session that focuses on the use of dietary supplements, herbal products, and over-the-counter remedies and their impact on liver health with particular attention on drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The program brings together patient, caregiver, and physician perspectives to help attendees better understand the real-world risks supplements may pose—especially for people living with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and those who have received a liver transplant.

The session includes a patient or caregiver sharing their lived experience with supplement use, highlighting the challenges individuals face. Clinicians discuss how supplements can affect the liver, common warning signs of injury, and why early recognition and open communication are critical. Speakers also address gaps in awareness, access to accurate information, and the importance of clear, nonjudgmental conversations between patients, caregivers, and health care practitioners. The session concludes with a moderated panel and audience question-and-answer period focused on practical strategies to support safer choices and shared decision-making.
